Spert Holidays from AU$2,848

The hotel was modern, spacious, and very comfortable. I especially appreciated the space, the quality linens and towels, and good bath products—it felt like home after traveling through different cities in Italy. I also enjoyed the dining, everything we ordered was perfect! One inconvenience I had was the access to the hotel. I called the night before to ask whether I needed to arrange a taxi from the Somma Lombardo train station and was told taxis would be available outside. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. There were no official taxis—only a couple of local drivers with small cars that couldn’t accommodate our luggage. The walk from the station to the hotel is quite long, which made things difficult. Thankfully, a kind local helped my family and me get to the hotel safely. The staff at the lobby were nice and helpful when we arrived, I’m unsure about the misinformation on the taxi situation.

I enjoyed my stay there

The hotel is a truly unique experiece, it is a beatiful hotel. Venice Lido with the beach is a perfect break after staying in Venice San Marco (we spent 2 nights in Venice, then 2 nights here on Lido). The hotel has a nice outdoor swimming pool (closes relatively early at 7 pm). The hotel is about 10 min walk to the paid beach (Des Bains), at the reception you can ask for an umbrella rent and towels (all for a reasonable fee), Des Bains feels like a quiet private beach, clean and not crowded at all. The paid beaches close at 7 pm.

The Rosapetra Spa was very lovely and had the most amazing views of the surrounding mountains. The staff was nice on arrival. The room was beautiful but lacked the 5 star luxury I was hoping for. The Spa was quite beautiful and had various saunas but the most beautiful sauna was off limits and we were scolded by the spa staff when we used it but not one staff member said it was closed. It was annoying but I have to say the spolier was the American couple who made a scene in the spa was they saw someone naked. To all Americans- its Europe-if you go to a spa be prepared to see nakedness. I have to say what really impressed me the most was the restaurant. It was fantastic. Everything we ate was amazing and the service was impeccable.

Very friendly and prompt service, excellent breakfast, beautifully designed and maintained guest rooms.
