Hotels on first line in Italy

The sea views ( and sunsets!) from the dining room, public terraces and sea facing balconies are stunning. The food is imaginative , and service is faultless, and bar prices are competitive

Food is excellent all the staff except one are cheerful, professional , polite and courteous and seem to care. This is towards end of season so a little quiet but suits us

Stayed half board for a late season week in October. Delicious - and limitless! - food. Comfortable room kept beautifully clean. Many thanks to all staff

The bar staff are excellent along with reception, waiters, owners and chambermaids. Went with Saga holidays and was well looked after. Many thanks and the weather is superb thank you for a memorable time

I stayed in this hotel on a holiday with the Travel Department Company from Ireland in September 2025. The hotel is beside the beach in a quiet location about 15 mins walk from town centre. It has a pool and a hot pool

About 10 mins walk to the town centre, no huge restaurant choice and the area overall was quiet, the Italians appear to give up on the sun spots by mid-September. Would most definitely stay there again

I recommend a shuttle service to the beaches, the boboi do not reach those areas

This is a resort that is separated from any community it is in. Assuming you drive there, you are then separated from your car by a 15 minute walk - getting away during your stay is tough

But altogethet the whole experience the sorrounding the pools, the friendly staff the lots of programs for the kids made it a wonderful holiday. Our 3 kids (7&5) and us loved it

The rooms are actually small separate houses like a holiday village and are very nice. Mine had a view of the stunning coast we were on. The place is enormous and has many places to eat

The paint is peeling etc bit it just makes it seem authentic. Our kids also absolutely loved the resident rabbits that can be spotted around the grounds. In summary, this place could be amazing, but it's not

We have been here in 2021 in June. It is a great location for families with kids, since the ocean access is limited (no sharks ;) ) and there is the park & zoo in walking distance

Snacks avaliable in the lobby all day (cakes, crisp etc) Ice cream avaliable all day and ice lollys when the pool area was open. Food - overall it wasnt great, pizza and chips were avaliable every lunchtime

Not 5 star, but good for a base, with food and drink. Limone is a fantastic place to visit, so much better than a beach holiday! Room is large and is kept clean. Food is okay, the usual AI buffet style

Hotel was is a great location, lots of parking avaliable. Rooms were dated but it was clean. Pools were good, never any issues getting a sun lounger, life guards at pools and lake

Fabulous holiday at this hotel Amazing location with spectacular views. Clean, basic room cleaned daily. Wonderful pools. Food was fine and value for money. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

They were quite strict with no jumping into the pool allowed. Lots of sun loungers at the lake. Drinks although only a small selection of spirits were all self service

We got a free upgrade to the villas on the beach ( there is 8 of these) which was a lovely surprise, as it was my daughters/son in laws 30 th birthdays and this also gave us access to the vip restaurant for breakfast (which costs €30 each ) We found that the staff were Friendly BUT couldn’t speak basic English so trying to ask questions were very difficult and frustrating

My experience was very positive: Rooms were clean (even slightly before check-in time), breakfast was good, SPA was great (we experienced massage, pedicure, sauna, pool, etc. Noise in the room was not an issue

The only remark I have is that for breakfast, the option to have scrambled eggs would be great! And I feel like the bacon they had was not really bacon, but another time of ham. All in all, I will recommend this hotel!

I needed a Dr and was promptly recommended to many in the Taormina area. Breakfast had a great selection, plenty to eat. This hotel is not the Ritz but location is great and budget friendly

Close to the water if you are interested. Great location to drive into/out of Taormina and Mtn Etna. Asked the front desk to chill a special bottle of wine and the graciously did so

"The hotel has an excellent location. The rooms are spacious, nice, and clean, and the restaurant is the same. The food is plentiful, varied, and delicious

Stayed for a week with 3 friends. Our rooms were lovely and clean and we were supplied with clean towels everyday. The reception desk always very helpful

Really nice place... most of hotels dont have a pool but this one does. Lovely area but the wifi isnt amazing

Good rooms and good food; Very close to lake with "private Beach". Very close to the city center.

The location is great, staff generally very helpful (extra gold star for Antonio working in the pool bar/restaurant who was unfailingly cheerful, helpful and efficient) and the facilities spacious and good

The condition of many parts of the hotel is a little tired and dated but thankfully for us everything worked ok. We enjoyed the good sized indoor pool during inclement weather

Amazing location, a short walk to Bardolino, where you can take the ferry. Hotel is a great compound with various places to sit. Large pool with bar and tables. Extremely convenient for families and regular tourists.

Adequate rooms, although they control the air temp,I liked the patio off each room! The pool area was very nice and amazing breakfast buffet! front desk and other staff very rude, they don’t like Americans and they made us feel as if we were not welcome, too bad

Everything was beautiful, location is on the coast with nice beach and pools inside a lovely green plants and trees

Breakfast everyday is the same and basic, but dinner was different every night with a large variety of foods. There are 3 pools, a very large space to roam, beach is a 2 min walk from reception

Free water sports tennis, beach volleyball, beach tennis, ping pong, bikes and lots more was fab

This is an amazing resort, I really wished I could stay more! The place is really beautiful, the pools are great and the all resort is just perfect

This resort advertised 3 pools One was supposed to be warm with jacuzzi The two big pools were not heated Too cold for the guests to swim The warm pool was freezing as well This resort was a bad choice My vacation was ruined

Brilliant resort lots of activities and games played daily, animation team were energetic and inclusive in particular our favourites were the fabulous Diego, Veronica & Oscar. Daily evening shows which were good

Hotel,pool,food,rooms was perfect. Beach, bar was bad! They didn ´ t clean the beach, I didn ´ t understand why 🙉🙈

Staff were really helpful and friendly. The hotel was a little out of the way from anywhere else so having a hire car was great and it was a good base for visiting both Cagliari and Villasimius

Everything about the resort (rooms, decorations and more) was beautiful. The staff was outstanding! Gorgeous property including the grounds, pool and beach. Very good food. We can't wait to go back!

We were expecting more from a 4-star resort Our letdown: intermittent wifi connection

Carry water containers because they don't have any containers in the hotel unless they are hiding those too. They do have a nice pool and a nice small beach

Some furniture outside was broken. On the positive notes, the staff were gentle and tried to support us with our complaints about the noise. The breakfast was great, and the garden and swimming pool were well-maintained

The hotel is perfectly placed on the beach and has all the amenities you would wish for: two pools, access to the beach, great fresh food. The animation/entertainment team are truly wonderful

Great stay Great location. Breakfast, lunch and dinner had something for everyone. Pools were nice. Bigger pool needs bigger loungers though. Right on beach . Staff were great.

Overall, I can definitely recommend the hotel. The main plus points are the beautiful beach, the excellent food and the great staff

They are dedicated to making sure everyone has the best vacation possible. From morning stretching on the beach, to pool games, right through to the evening entertainment

There is always a pasta dish and a dish with fish or meat at the evening buffet, as well as a dessert and fruit to choose from. At lunchtime you can order pizza or salad. The hotel has two very nice pools

The Villaggio Baia D’ercole is a nice place to spend a vacation with kids. Starting from its location on the beach, the availability of 2 pools, the amazing sunset panorama to the tasty local food buffet

My husband and i stayed for 7 nights and we absolutely loved everything anout this place. spectacular views from our sea view room. the refreshing beach at Parghelia. good breakfast and dinner was great too

The village is situated near the beach; it is really tidy and amazing! The village is nice and well done! There is also a pool. The food and the service are not the best! The village is a little too expensive!

This is a very unique hotel, it has a real 70s vibe however, don't get me wrong it also has a real charm. From the elevator down to the beach, to the tropical plants, to the hand paintings to the live music at night

Fantastic stay at La Pizzuta great location nice food everything was fresh every day very kind and friendly staff in the hole institution the entertainment from the staff here very nice and made the stay very enjoyable the clean premises we loved and I hope to come back next year thank you

thank you for making our stay a memorable one. we highly recommended il villagio pizzuta to everyone lookimg yo fet away from the tourist sopt of tropea and enjoy and relax in this stunning place 👌

Excellent breakfast & extremely accommodating staff

The hotel is nice situated, peaceful, you have space around you, the pool verry big and clean, food can satisfy everyone, staff respectful, price/quality good.

I was there in 2017, everything was great and on high level. The special was that, there I ate the best pizza in whole Italy and world, an extra paid pizza in hotel's restaurant. Incredible

There is a solo singer in the evening with a pleasant repertoire. The location is gorgeous: surrounded by nature, 5 min walk to a small beach, clean and beautiful. We would deffinitely come here again

For us, walking 5 minutes from the room to the restaurant was a pleasure, since the paths have flowers and nice vegetation. The infinity pool is quite big and cleaned every evening by a robot

Downside coffee only available at breakfast, unless want to pay at pool bar!Also juice, water and wine only available at meal times,unless you pay at bar,so expect an expense at the end of your stay, even if you have paid for full board

Just returned from 7 night stay,hotel grounds and facilities very good, fantastic beach,do cross over to the next beach by foot for softer sand. Staff very hard working and friendly

You must put your door card in the wall sensor to power the room, not sure why we don't have this energy saving feature in America. Genova has a lot to offer, and we found that three days was enough to see most of it

There are many nice places to eat and a lot of free things to see. Here the cathedrals are free to see and were amongst the most beautiful we saw in Italy. There are open street markets so make sure you have some cash

For some reason, the italian pillows are very flat and hard. We found a dept store not far away and for 5e fluffy the pillow went across italy with me. We do not have Best Westerns in America like they have here

the location is excellent right across the Milano Brignole Rail station, and there are plenty of eateries and shopping nearby. The room is clean, and drinks and snacks in the fridge are free to guests

Very close to the train station, about 40 meters. Room is very clean, hotel is old like the other hotels around but the bathrooms have been recently renovated hence it's modern and shiny

The hotel is right across the street from the train station and was a very easy walk. Our accommodations were great, and it was the only place we stayed that actually had the air conditioning on

The pool deck was relaxing and fun (still a little to cold for us to get in). This hotel was up there with the Ritz Maldives and St. Regis Dubai as one of our favorite hotels

However, it’s still working through operational issues like undisclosed age restrictions, uncomfortable breakfast setup in shoulder season, and inconsistent service

Staff members were all extremely friendly and helpful. Property is very new with a nice modern design. Convenient location but we heard lots of traffic noise from our room even in the middle of the night.

My favorite was the floating pool on the lake and the adjacent bar serving delicious homemade pizza. One downside is the busy road between the hotel and the lake/pool area

We stayed three nights in early April with our two teenagers. The Major Issue: The spa and pool are restricted to guests 16 and older, which was never disclosed when booking

Every team member went above and beyond to make our stay special. I was faced with a booking issue upon arrival, but it was handled quickly and professionally. A special thank you to Ana, who made everything perfect

Had a lovely time, rooms was lovely and clean, we had sea view, it was lovely, the 2 pools was lovely and cleaned daily, the pool men was polite and friendly, all ways ready to help, all the staff was friendly and helpful, would like to say a big thank you to the bar staff, we was in a group of 9, they had our tables put together for us and made sure we all ways had a drink and had snacks on the...

Immaculate hotel and grounds with beautiful swimming pools and beach; the setting could not have been better. Friendly, helpful staff and service

We also had the bbq they do once a week, which was delicious so would definitely recommend it, Thank you all for a lovely week, all the people in my group had a lovely time. Would definitely recommend this hotel

Several cafes/restaurants in Fertilia and a regular easy bus service into Alghero from Fertilia. Thank you Hotel Punta Negra, we had a lovely holiday!

We had the breakfast which was very nice ( maybe heat the cooked breakfast up a bit, sometimes the bacon was cold, but we still eat it,)

This property is located a short distance from town. It is lovely, quiet, and scenic. There is a gorgeous pool area and a beach. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are available at both the pool and the beach

Good break in a quiet location but is still close to other towns and the beach with a local supermarket 10 mins walk away

Stayed here for a week, on the whole a nice stay. Positives - Staff & Service excellent, lovely pool area with pool bar that serves good but basic bar food, rooms good, clean & tidy

This was a very good and relaxing holiday. You have to Relax and let the time go by. The Bar is small but you can find the best nibbles and good Alcohol. We came last year 2024 and this year 2025 and have just arrived

I will surely try to make it as well next year

The pool is very well kept with a beautiful view on a large territory with beautiful plants. We had a queire and the receptionists were very helpful in sorting it out

We enjoyed our stay in Villagio Alkantara. We stayed in the room number 143. The rooms are pretty basic but very well kept clean and cosy with great air conditioner. The fridge is also a very nice bonus

Seafront and beach area just been worked on, beach is a little pebbly but lovely. Railway line runs between gardens and the beach, not an issue at all for us but some might find it off putting

This hotel was very nice with an impressive lobby and was right on the beach. You just walk outside and down a short set of stairs, and you are on the beach

The hotel was good but the carpeting and elevators need replacement. The hotel is on the beach which is a great plus. They provide a shuttle to the center of town which is very convenient.

Overall, though, the positives far outweighed this one drawback, and we would definitely consider returning, especially for the beach, the food, and the staff

Hotel Caparena was very nice with clean rooms and great staff, we had a lovely time in Toamina! The shuttle bus was excellent we used it every day a special thank you to Salvatore, Pipo and drivers! The restaurant staff were amazing especially Nadine, Andrea, Adriano not to mention the rest of the gang! Lots of love Maria & Martin XxX

The free shuttle into town and back must be reserved in advance so if you plan to use this service on the day/evening of your check in, you should call ahead to be added to the schedule

I WAS IN PESCARA FOR THE 2024 WORLD SKATE GAMES FOR SPEED SKATING AND THE HOTEL WAS RIGHT AT THE HEART OF ALL THE EVENTS FOR THE WEEKEND RIGHT AT THE START FINISH LINE AND STAGE FOR CEREMONIES

The room was facing a square ( Piazza ) way too noisy. We couldn't sleep until 2 am

No coffee pot or hot water kettle, and no microwave. I was led to believe that the property was on the beach. I had a beach view, but it wasn't on the beach. There were two streets that separated me from the beach

Nice central location with a view on the beach. Room cleanliness was not perfect and amenities a bit outdated.

Had a great stay at this unique hotel in Pescara

Good location. Clean room. Nice staffs.

Staff at reception are very friendly and welcoming and happy to answer any questions with a smile. Lovely spacious room , pool area super lay out and always enough loungers

Luxurious hotel, with spacious and clean rooms. Concierge was attentive and good natured. Great view from the room. Nice breakfast. Walking distance to nice restaurants.

Words are useless. To see. Obviously this can be combined with a visit to Castelsardo, and 10 km away is Sedini with its Domus de Janas, which is not to be missed.

The location was perfect and the hotel restaurant very delicious

Loved the pool and had a great view of the ocean, a bit out of the way but we didn’t mind walking into town. The hotel is a bit older, so the interiors aren’t as modern as you’d expect from a 5 star hotel.

Such an amazing experience! First - as I am pregnant, asked for an early check in - no problem! Second, the pool is so clean that even in my state I was able to swim

Amenities great location on the beach with great swimming pool. Great buffet.

Very simple rooms but with renovated and modern bathrooms. Beautiful sea and very large swimming pool

We chose to dine every morning and evening on the veranda overlooking the sea, and what an amazing view, and got to watch the beautiful sunset each night

Very good animation for adults, nice and good at entertaining but the animation for young people a little poorer. Very beautiful location, restaurant with beautiful terrace overlooking the sea

Just back from a 10 night stay at this lovely resort. The location is beautiful, staff are friendly and welcoming, fun packed and amazing food

We were greeted each time by the lovely waiting staff, Andrea was so lovely, great with the kids, it was like he knew everyone personally

Lovely hotel in quiet part of town, lovely staff, great breakfast buffet, nice large pool on the main floor. Within walking distance to the town. Lots of nearby restaurants.

Our room was beautiful! Highly recommend room #143 with 2 balconies overlooking the pool and garden, beautiful view of the Mediterranean in the distance and direct access to the lemon garden, pool and restaurant

The include breakfast buffet has everything (even for picky American eaters like my spouse) and it’s around the corner from the main shopping street in sorrento with all the stores and restaurants

One of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed in! Do yourself a favor and get a room with a balcony, the view is incredible

It’s in the original villa and are two rooms combined into a guest suite. Generously sized bedroom and living room with a dining table that could accommodate 6 easily. The armoires and fireplace were a beautiful touch

The dinner options were not appealing to us given the amazing food we had nearby. Housekeeping didn’t clean our room when requested so we had dirty towels, unmade beds foe 2 days

this is a dream! And also the silence and tranquility of the hotel with olive trees and swimming pool that descend towards the lake the lake is across the road and can be reached by crossing the Gardesana the water is always very clean because we are in the upper part of Garda the hotel is a 4 star by name but given the price you certainly cannot expect luxury treatment, you have to settle! I have...

modest-sized pool but splendid days

If you use the hotel as a base, the surroundings eg the waterfront, the views and the villages close by are a real treat and very convenient. The hotel has the advantage of all the local amenities and views of the Lake

The restaurant team are just the best. Especially Sami, Jaouhar, Carlos, Mohammad, Christian, and Mustpha. They work so hard and I hardly hear any customers say thank you, I don't know where people's manners are gone

Rooms are clean and towels and sheets changed daily. Breakfast is fruit, croissants, cheese, meats, get down before 9am. Dinner has four courses, starter which is fabulous, pasta, meat, or fish, then desert

I stayed two nights in this complex and I had a great time. clean hotel and friendly staff, excellent breakfast!!! A stone's throw from Ago and Rita where we were supposed to celebrate a birthday
