Reviews
The room was poorly decorated. There were only 2 pillows for the bed. No other pillow in the room. The breakfast was an additional 10 euros per guest. The parking another 8 euros- the stay was very overpriced for what was offered.
Staff tried to understand.
Go for the seaview room... you won't regret it and it's worth the extra. I think one of the best hotel views I've ever had. Simply stunning.
Staff was very helpful and the breakfast had an amazing view.
It might need a renovation but it was overall a very nice stay.
Cafe and Restaurants near hotel
The good: the room and bathroom were very clean and nice. The staff at the desk were very kind and welcoming. A short walk to the village. Peaceful.
The bad: I paid a lot of extra money to book a place with a pool and inclusive breakfast. The food at breakfast looked absolutely inedible and was a huge disappointment. I know the Italians really only do pastries and espresso for breakfast but after traveling for so long I really just wanted some scrambled eggs which looked green and old. In addition, i paid a lot of extra money to book the hotel because of their pool. It is a really beautiful spot. However it had not been vacumned for many days and was dirty. I didn’t see anyone testing the chlorine the whole time I was there. I didn’t dare get in it. Another huge disappointment. Will not visit again.
Updated to respond to hotel’s comment: Yes, I absolutely stayed at the hotel in September. Also, i did not pay an additional fee for the pool —it was included with the room. However, I could have booked a stay much more inexpensively at another establishment without breakfast or a pool. I tried to speak with the owners directly while I was at the hotel and got brushed off. Other reviews mention the uncleanliness of the pool and poor breakfast. Not just me. Improve these things and you could have a wonderful 4 star hotel.
I had planned to propose to her on our second night and Giorgia and the team were SO SO helpful. They gave amazing recommendations on restaurants and helped me plan the location for the proposal. As well as offering extra amenities the day after.
The pool was amazing rooms spacious and clean, local beaches and restaurants were fabulous. The location is brilliant.
We had a magical 8 day stay - and will certainly be coming back, Scopello is like something out of a movie, such a lovely place.
Thank you Hotel Baglio Dello Zingaro for helping us have an unforgettable week. 💛
All the staff are courteous and always available.
My wife and I spent two unforgettable days! Thanks for everything we will definitely be back ❤️
