Great pool, great room, great service.
The high point was the giant swimming pool, which we found more than tolerable in spite of the early date (mid-May) to the shock of the staff! The only small disappointment was to not have any fresh bread for breakfast our first morning, but it was more than made up for when the clerk offered to share her birthday sweet pastries with us. Thank you Jessica!

hotel was magnificent in beauty and cleanliness. It is in a great location on right on the water. We were there off season so breakfast left a lot to be b=desired. All starch. No hot meals and no restaurant service. Staff speaks little to no English so this could be problem especially if you need help.

Luxurious, Clean, Great Staff, Great Pool,5 Stars
I cant add anything to the pictures already posted, the Grand Hotel Balestrieri is a Five Star Hotel is every way. I has an immaculate lobby, pool area, garden area, each room has a private balcony overlooking the Sea and the pool area. The receptionist, Gessica was more than professional, she works hard to ensure your stay is a great one and mine sure was. What a place to stay. I was coming from Sicily driving toward the Adriatic Coast of Italy and needed a stop before the long drive and this place surely fit my needs. If you too are driving around Italy be sure to make this a place to stop and enjot the luxury of the Hotel and the outstanding pool area this hotel offers.

Rekommenderar inte
Hotellet är smutsigt både i rummen och på allmänna ytor. Frukosten serverades i en matsal utan AC då utomhustemperaturen låg på 37 grader. Otrevlig personal. Vi debiterades en stor summa pengar för mycket som personalen lovade att vi skulle få tillbaka, men inte har fått. Underhållning som tillhandahålls av personal där de själva sjöng karaoke till sent på natten. Rekommenderar verkligen inte detta hotell.

Hotell rom, uteområde, service og mat
Flott hotell. Veldig fint og reint rom, flott balkong. Flott basseng og badestrand. Veldig dårlig luft i spiselokalene. Dårlig frokost, nesten bare kaker. Lunsj og middag var av dårlig kvalitet, vi spiste på nabohotellet. Forferdelig høy musikk hele dagen. Smilende resepsjonister, men de kunne ikke engelsk, vi brukte Google translate.
