I've been looking up this hotel because I was there 8 years ago and am now looking to take my husband back to a beautiful place. I was very disapointed to find a poor review on the place, especially on its ambiance from the last reviewer. My memories are of a luxurious villa that allows you to step back in time. The rooms are a bit small, but overlook the sea or the charming courtyard and the size is to be expected for much of europe. If you are there to stay in your room, you're crazy. The grounds alone could keep you occupied for days. Inside there are beautiful courtyards with fountains that are often empty if you are looking to steal some alone time with your honey. The piano bar area was fabulous and the bartender made me my first cocktail and we called it the pink panther. Outside, on the beautiful terrace we ate dinner with sunset views for miles and beautiful views of the sea. Down some steps and to the left was a quaint little duck pond and you continued down to a beautiful pool that faded from the deck to the water like the beach does. It was a great size and there were friendly staff on hand to teach us dances so we had a blast. What many people did not get to experience was going down to the third level. You could easily walk to the beach, get lost in the secret gardens, and we even came across an abandoned or closed pizza bar typical of Italy. I can't wait to take the love of my life there.
The pool is amazing, the bartender is amazing, the grounds are amazing! Theme: HotelPhone: 39-0922-598622Directions: remote enough for privacy, close enough for a short drive to the city center for shopping and more great dining.
