Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We were upgraded to a junior suite with a wonderful view of the sea. A beautiful big room, mixing old time elegance with modern convenience. The hotel is perfectly located if you just want to relax, wander around and visit the many fantastic restaurants nearby such as La Loncando del Purto, Don Angus and Brunda Pizzeria. The staff are very friendly and the service was excellent but the Albergo has a few flaws which is why I'm sadly giving it 4 out of 5. Our air con didn't work and the drains were a bit iffy unfortunately. But these are things which can be fixed. Will definitely go back again, though.”
