Personnel très aimable, chambres bien propres, restaurant délicieux. Offre de boîte déjeuner car notre vol était tôt le matin. Belles installations extérieures avec beaux arbres et fleurs; mais au 26 mai la piscine n’était pas ouverte et les installations de terrasse côté mer étaient incomplètes.
Tout de même je recommande cet endroit!

Aan de receptie vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel..die ook de engelse taal spreken.
De schoonmaakploeg binnen en buiten verdienen zeker een pluim..evenzo de bewaakte parking waar 24 uur iemand aanwezig is.

Okay but very basic.
Very basic. Pool doesn’t look like photo. Has ropes around the perimeter and your not allowed in the pool without a swimming hat! Towels have to be paid for as well as deposit left. Looked very abandoned and run down.

Good hotel with top class breakfast
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
