This is a Beach Club with accomodation. The property facilities are just below ok. A very fast renovation (carpets and some walls) would make this a fantastic property for all. But what's nice and breathtaking is the beach. Not a Caribbean beach but a clear and clean water with a perfect temperature. Bare in mind that the day you are checking out they won't allow you to go to the beach. And you can only use it after checking in. So you will lose a day of beach club access. And beach club staff clearly differentiate residents (there are some houses around) from hotel visitors. Although they send you at the end of the beach it is not necessarily a bad location (a bit far from the bar but 3 minutes walking slow). Breakfast is perfect. Great Italian and international dishes with lots of great Italian coffee. In conclusion, we liked it. You will enjoy it as it is a great experience for the price.

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.

Hotel was clean and staff friendly and helpful. We did think the beach would be more prominent even around Oct 1. Weather would have worked however, seaweed was prominent along with little access to a sandy beach. We may not have realized that much of the Adriatic cost in this area is rocky with a few sandy spots.

Wonderful but a little remote
This hotel was amazing but is quite isolated. I believe a note should be on their website to advise that own transport is recommended. Nearest shop of any kind is over 5km away. Aside from this beautiful grounds, rooms, amenities, great restaurant and bar , breakfast superb. Staff are very helpful and friendly. I will go back but will hire a car.

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.
