Amazing staff and outstanding food. Florin/ Angelo and the team are brilliant. Views are stunning with a classic and authentic Italian feel. Very much old school in all its values. Highly recommend but you need a car as there is no shuttle and the walk to local amenities it’s not pleasant ( main busy road). Def return for a chill.

The absolute best accommodation I have ever been to. It is truly a 5 star experience for their attention to detail and outstanding property. They get your room ready for bed with chocolate, clean up multiple times a day. The restaurant was very good, and had a fine dining feel but for a reasonable price. Pool and surrounding property were spotless, the floors of the room dust free and amazing clean. Our Loggia suite was the cherry on top, my wife and I got married on the balcony. If I could I’d come back every year, it was the pinnacle of our honeymoon.

Lovely hotel with lots of character but missing a little something. Modern bathroom and comfortable bed but missing some modern plugs/usb sockets and a kettle/coffee/tea station in the room for a 5 star hotel. Breakfast was great and the service really good and personalised, stayed for 3 nights and the staff were very friendly and personable. Would go again and recommend but with so many hotels around I would probably try a different one next time.
