Grand Hotel Baia Verde

Grand Hotel Baia Verde

8/10 Good
"The hotel has an amazing setting, and the swimming pool in particular was really lovely. Although the décor is somewhat old-fashioned, everything was very well kept and maintained, which gave the hotel a certain charm. The staff was very friendly and helpful. However, I was disappointed by the bathroom facilities, particularly the shower. For a hotel of this calibre, the shower was shockingly basic and felt very cheap. My friend, who is almost 83 years old, had to climb over a high-sided bathtub in order to take a shower. He specifically requested a room with a walk-in shower, but unfortunately none was available. I believe this is a significant health and safety concern, particularly for older guests, as climbing into and out of a high bathtub can present a genuine risk of falling. The breakfast was also disappointing and, in my view, below the standard I would expect from a hotel of this quality. Overall, the beautiful setting, pool and well-maintained surroundings are definite positives, but the bathroom facilities and breakfast need considerable improvement to match the standard expected of the hotel."

10/10 Excellent
"Overall an excellent stay. Our suite (with a private pool) was modern, clean and comfortable - most critically with a soft bed (italian beds are usually so hard) and effective but quiet aircon (so you could have it on all night). At the pool there are comfy sunloungers and we always had brand new fluffy pool towels. The main pool was usually very busy - but not an issue for us as we camped out at the adults pool. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Lunch and drinks at Lime Bar were also always to a high standard. The evening buffet, and the a-la carte restaurants were a bit hit & miss - the pizza restaurant the best of the bunch. Staff very helpful, maybe just too few of them on occassion. Note that this hotel really is off the beaten track. Brucoli village is close - but there is nothing there to see or do. Don't bother going and certainly pay for the water taxi from the hotel. Overall - thoroughly recommend."
