A magnificent hotel. Beautiful rooms and an amazing private beach with the infinity pools. Really worth it. Improvement: Would be great to offer a shuttle bus from the train station to the hotel.

Dear Ms. Maria,this review leaves us speachless. We really do not understand how your discontent might have been created. It seems that, during your recent three overnights stay, no mention about your disappointment was reported to any member of the Staff, nor at the Reception, neither during the Dinner at our Restaurant, despite your were asked for a feedback. It is a shame as we would have loved to listen your suggestions and find together a solution.We might assume that even the free upgrade to an Exclusive room, with terrace and sea view has not been appreciated.We are awfully sorry about this score, so in case you wish to add more details to let us better understand what caused such a level of dissatisfactiont, please contact us, any time. Kind regards, Aldo Werdin General Manager

Ich & meine Tochter waren 2 Übernachtungen da . War sehr gut , Personal super freundlich , zuvorkommend & hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer schön mit Balkon & Blick aufs Meer wirklich fantastisch , nur einbrachen eng . Aber die Einrichtung die Antiquitäten & Möbel einfach ein Traum , da ich ein grosser Fan von Antiquitäten Möbel use. bin Schade waren die Pools nicht in Takt
