The hotel is located in a nice place close to Bari. The room was clean, well equipped and warm. They upgraded us to a better room. Everything was very good and as expected for a 4 star hotel. One item that stands out is the top class breakfast. Best breakfast of our travel where we stayed in 7 hotels. Maybe even our best breakfast in Italy.

This hotel is beautiful and staff was super friendly. Everything was clean and property kept up. Breakfast had a good variety nothing fancy but a little bit of everything. Only downfall is location is away from city center so catching a cab a little pricey.... I would definitely stay here again

This hotel was a great stop-over for one night, my only wish is that I had more time to spend there. The grounds a beautiful, it’s got a nice big pool and it’s right on the beach. Dinner and breakfast were great.

Just one night after late arrival to Bari airport. The air condition in the room did not work. The room felt like a sauna. Not value for money. Breakfast and check out was good.

Among all the staff only 2 people gave us good service, the reception Rosella and Ana Maria, the rest of the staff doesn't speak English and doesn't bother to try communicating as I could speak some Italian but big difference on treatment if you are Italian.

The room was modernized and very clean. The daily breakfast was well organized with a good selection. The hotel felt overly subdued in that there were no live entertainment. We did not see any staff or people out by the pool or at the beach. While we understand that it’s off season, it would be nice to have coffee and bar service in the middle part of the day. The hotel needs new carpet and landscaping. A lot of dead vegetation and shrubs.

A warm welcome from Daniella at the front desk. Vitto and Lucio are very kind and their attention to any request regarding drinks and food is appreciated.

Superb escape in the Italian sunshine. Booked for the pool and proximity to Bari but barely used the pool (although lovely when we did) and our taxi to and from Bari was ridiculously expensive and wouldn’t recommend doing. The beach club area was BRILLIANT! Such a wonderful space to relax, eat, drink, play games and listen to music! The room was simple but very clean and had a super comfy bed! Lovely and diverse breakfast spread and staff were delightful.
