Farinole Beach

Lovely gardens and nice rooms. However, overall it was a disappointing experience for a 5* hotel, as it simply was not a 5* experience; same breakfast every day and often running out of items, tapas restaurant was very poor value for money with insufficient staff to run it, no pool service or extra pool towels available, you need a car as there is no beach access and no regular shuttle service, also at the beach there are no beds arranged for hotel guests. Would not recommend spending a week here or that it is good value for money

Modern and very clean apartment with plenty of room for 2. We stayed in a sea view 1 bed apartment. 4 adults maybe a squeeze particularly wardrobe space. Kitchen functional..i would suggest table mats and coasters and a larger chopping board. They supply a kitchen cloth towel so didn't need to use mine. A large fridge freezer and ice cube trays. If I were to be really really picky, I would say a larger kitchen worktop would be handy and some shelves or cupboard to put food in as well as a shelf in the shower area for shower toiletries. Again, that's me being really picky. Outdoor pool with plenty of sunbeds and not many people there at anyone time. Jacuzzi style indoor pool. Both were quite cold for me. Separate hot jacquzzi which was warmish. Informed reception one side didn't bubble which she immediately said she'd get it seen to. Good tarmac and gated parking area. Indoor pool has a separate area with cushioned sunloungers...very peaceful. Cushions would be welcomed on the outdoor sunloungers. A 5 mins walk into the main seaside town with plenty of restaurants. Sandra, the receptionist, was ever so helpful amd pleasant. All in all, it ticked all of our boxes amd one of the cleanest and best places we've stayed at. Very well thought through. Definitely recommend staying here.
