I was at the Sporting hotel with my 5 years old daughter. The hotel did not meet our expectation. My navigator was not working and I called the hotel to ask for directions.

Spacious rooms for the price. Great staff. Fantastic health center with indoor, pool, sauna, steam bath, etc. Beautiful view of the Adriatic from atop a hill about 2 km from the beach. more

The location is beautiful - especially the views from the outdoor breakfast room over the sea and hills of Abruzzo. The staff is excellent - particularly the restaurant waiters.
