Castiglione Beach

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 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!

A beautiful property! Everyone was kind and welcoming, very helpful. The rooms were tight but tidy; breakfast was expansive and delicious. The pool is well-maintained and well-staffed. The shuttle bus into the city is incredibly convenient and runs nearly all day/night. My only complaint: the fitness center is very small and requires a reservation limited to one hour, and it does not open until 8:30. A lovely stay all-in-all!
