Reviews and Ratings

Reviews from guests about their experience.

Fraser

United Kingdom, March 2025

6.8/10

The hotel offered a blend of charm and luxury but was marred by noise issues from the elevators that affected my stay. The staff was generally helpful, and breakfast was a highlight with its variety. However, I had to deal with a frustrating room change that downgraded my experience considerably, which was disappointing. Overall, while the ambiance of the hotel is nice, my sleep was compromised, and I can't wholeheartedly recommend this place.

8.4/10

I had a lovely stay with stunning views over the sea and Portofino that really enhanced my experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, always ready to assist. Breakfast was fantastic, with a variety of options to choose from, ensuring I started the day right. However, it's a bit inconvenient if you're hoping to enjoy the beach, as the nearest access requires a bit of a walk and lacks sandy spots. Overall, it's a great choice for a family holiday with some minor drawbacks in accessibility to the beach.
