Carafa Castle

The front desk on arriving was not super friendly, probably because we had two service dogs with us. They tried to charge us for the service dogs, though that is both against Hotels.com policy and Italian law. The room was OK, large, with a nice balcony. The shower, though, had mold on the showerhead nozzles. Breakfast was OK, but limited selection, and again originally an issue with the service dogs being allowed with us into the restaurant. They want us to sit outside! Fortunately, the manager/owner intervened and our service dogs and we were seated. The private beach is across the street, but easily walkable, and the dogs had a great time running on the sand. If you do NOT have a SERVICE dog, you’ll probably be treated well (or, better than we were).

Very clean, grounds are very nice, servers for breakfast very good. The hotel decor is outdated. For such a beautiful resort, they could use some improvements: poor wifi in room, improve room AC, pool was not available because of parties, no towels available for beach, parking could be improved for hotel guests especially when parties take over parking lot.
