Eccellente location per Zinzilusa
Perfetto soggiorno per vedere le grotte di zinzolusa (a lordi poche centinaia di metri) e altri posti meravigliosi. Albergo tenuto con cura e titolari al lavoro in prima persona nella ricezione, colazione ecc. Tutto perfetto.

Bel hôtel en bord de mer
Bel hôtel en bord de mer, très calme, d'un très bon rapport qualité/prix. Les chambres ont un balcon et une fantastique vue sur la mer ! Le soleil innonde les chambres le matin. L'hôtel est situé dans un jardin méditerranéen, à 7mn à pied du centre historique de Castro par le chemin (éclairé) qui monte au village. Le personnel est charmant. Nous avons passé 4 jours extrêmement agréables.

Struttura accogliente con ottimo servizio compresa colazione. Esterni favolosi curati nel dettaglio del verde e degli spazi. Camera spaziosa e ben arredata con solo il bagno un po' piccolino. Top balconcino attrezzato con vista mozzafiato sul mare!!!! Indimenticabile.

Nicht empfehlenswert!
Die Lage und die Aussicht sind fantastisch. Allerdings ist das Hotel sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Starker Schimmelbefall im Bad, Ameisen im Zimmer, … schade! Leider war auch das meiste Personal, bis auf wenige Ausnahmen, unfreundlich und total gelangweilt.

Ambiente Familiare con ottima accoglienza
Personale molto cortese ed attento alle esigenze dei clienti. Ogni mattina venivamo accolti con delle nuove torte fatte direttamente in struttura. La sensazione era quella di stare in famiglia.

Personale estremamente gentile, sempre con il sorriso ed estremamente disponibili. Posizione e panorama, ottimo. Reception e sala volazioni bar ristrutturato e gradevole, complimenti. Consiglio vivamente di ristrutturare totalmente le camere il tutto è datato di minimo 25/30 anni. È un peccato..
