Castel Baronia Holidays from £270

Perfect location. Helpful staff. Clean but quiet retro. Can be cheaper. But anyway good choice.

The view is spectacular! Family rum Mediterranean style hotel. Very authentic. They serve lemons from their lemon orchard which is located just behind the hotel! Good breakfast fresh fruit, yoghurt, fresh tomato and mozzarella salad, eggs and assorted pasteries. Family owners made us feel right at home. Ocean views from room and a large solarium on the roof. Be aware that the walk from town is 15-20 minutes and 5 of that includes 200 odd stairs. But if you are willing you will be rewarded with spectacular views and a magical experience. Thank-you so much to the lovely family at Hotel Bellevue!

The check-in process was completely lacking. I stood outside for over an hour emailing calling and trying to get lit in the door. It says the front office is open, but you have to know how to get in the door. Apparently you have to use the keypad and click on one of the options that was available. But nowhere was that in the directions and the phone number to call the reception area was not taking phone calls and no one ever responded to my emails so I spent almost 2 hours standing outside until other people came along and let me in. Absolutely ridiculous!

The room was very clean, Breakfast was not great! There was very little choice, this was the 3rd hotel that I had stayed in during my trip and the worst Breakfast..you had to ask the member if staff for more coffee and it felt like you were imposing on them. The hotel itself is lovely but the area is very rough. Every cafe I went into advised me to put my bag in front of me and look out for pick pockets.
