We requested the room called Sapore di Sole based on Trip Advisor reviews and were very happy. It was very small but we had a view of the sea and a balcony and it was very clean. The owner Barbara was extremely helpful and the restaurants she recommended (Ristorante Scogliera and Marina Piccola) were both excellent.

The pluses and minuses pretty much canceled each other out. We reserved the Sapore di Sole room, because we'd read it had a better view and was larger. The view of the sea was spectacular, but the room was so tiny that we could not pass each other, going around the bed. It would have been fine for one person.... More

We spent our honeymoon staying at Alla Porta Rossa in the Creme Caramel accommodation. Everything about our stay was beyond perfect. The room had updated, nice features with daily cleaning. The kitchen was well-stocked. And, of course, the VIEWS! The view from the bathroom was more beautiful than most places could dream of. We spent so much time on our... More

This little apartment was perfect-given that you don't spend much time at home-walking, swimming and eating out is so much more alluring-this apartment was perfectly adequate. A cosy big bed, a lovely view out of the efficient kitchen and plenty of charming Italian ladies all around who will make sure that you are well fed, watered and entertained. Access is... More

The reservation process via email was sketchy. After a few back and forth emails, the owner went silent. A week later, I reached put again and suspisciously the room I wanted was no longer available. I could however secure a different room (Creme Caramel) at a higher price. I didn't feel I had a lot of choice and had already... More

We had a little apartment next door that is run by Alla Porta Rossa. The service we got was excellent, from the moment I made contact with them to enquire about availability. They stayed in email contact, answering any queries in a very helpful way. They met us from the train and showed us to the apartment, taking plenty time... More

We first stayed in Blu Mare in May 2012, and it was so good that we then came back in September 2012 and stayed in Raggio and Blu Mare for our honeymoon. Both Raggio and Blu Mare are great, although if you prefer privacy then I would go with Raggio as Blu Mare can be a bit exposed. Blu Mare... More

I hate writing bad reviews but I really have to share about this one -- we were going to stay in one of the hotel rooms, not the apartment and I'm so glad we didn't. I made a reservation 3 months in advance and cancelled over 45 days out -- they do have a cancellation policy but it's written in... More
