Quel plaisir de trouver un abri pour nos vélos et sécher nos affaires. Puis nous avons déjeuner au menu d'excellentes pâtes fourrées au poisson puis une friture de poissons excellente. Lits confortabes, nous avons demandé une chambre à 2 lits au dernier moment que nous avons obtenue. Accueil sympa malgre la frontière de la langue. Prix raisonnable mais pas de wifi dans la chambre ##### Denis Stayed 1 night in May 2019 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Fabrizio 23 Jun 2018 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel in centro .... Camera piccolissima non rispetta le norme per essere affittata a due persone arredamento normale bagno nella norma colazione minimale quasi da bar abbiamo preso una loro offerta a prezzo scontato 55 euro con la media in zona dei prezzi per la stagione di 60 65 euro le tre stelle non sono quelle giuste per il servizio a noi offerto ##### Fabrizio Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Petra 10 Jul 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Good location We stayed in the hotel for one night on our way from Sicily to Rome. The location of the hotel is good in a relation to the beach - we were able to go for a swim after sitting in the car for hours. The room was small, modest, but clean and worked fine for us. With the family of four, it would be difficult to stay in this room for a longer beach holiday. If you have special food diet (like gluten-free), please tell it in advance to the personnel, so they can be prepared for your breakfast in advance. ##### Petra Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 30 Aug 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Buono Ottimo per chi non è molto esigente, posizzione ottima ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### anonimus 19 Aug 2013 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### deludente il prezzo non corrisponde alla qualità un hotel senza ascensore con scarsa accoglienza e colazione normale ##### anonimus Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 3 Jun 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > -
