Poggio Favaro-San Bernardo Holidays from £380

Excellent location close to everything. Staff are first class in every respect. Nice buffet breakfast with outside seating on the patio but it fills up fast on nice mornings. Short walk to many restaurants. About the only downside was the 32 euros per night to park. I had a single room. It was small but then its Europe. Highly recommend this hotel.

Good central location. No

As a solo female, I didn’t feel particularly safe as when I arrived I gained access with a qr code and my room key was just left on the side with someone else’s. There is also no deadbolt on the door and when the taxi driver told me not to go out at night, it wasn’t great. The room itself was compact but fine. Shower was nice, good pressure. Comfortable bed. Basic but nice breakfast.

The house keeping staff was exceptional and the front desk staff gave us a bottle of champagne on our first night to celebrate our honeymoon but that is essentially where the good experience ends. The room is bright and big but not well maintained with outlets seemingly coming loose from the walls. The “spa” was another disappointment, some of the amenities did not work and the rest were clearly poorly maintained. The restaurant menu was lacklustre and the morning breakfast service was very poor, staff were helpful and nice but the selection lacks the price paid and their were swarms of flies all over the pastries. This property requires you to pay extra for all ementies (pool, breakfast, parking) and overall does not provide 5 star or even 4 star service despite the 5 star price point.

Great staff. Great location, the beach club associated with the hotel was the same. Clean, large rooms, comfy well Air conditioned hotel.
