We booked a cycling holiday via an outfit who we won't mention as their cycling guiding instructions left something lacking but the great thing they did was introduce us to one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Not the prettiest to look at perhaps but much much more made up for by how it's run - Basil... More

We have just come back from a great stay at Hotel Alexander and have to say that it was simply wonderful. We did a week long's cycling holiday (be warned that cycling in this area can be quite brutal to the novice cyclist !). Everything about this hotel functioned perfectly under the guidance of Roberto (and Cynthia) - the staff... More

This is the best place to spend holidays in really friendly atmosphere. If you look for extremly good food, hospitality and if you want to spent holidays in peace you should visit this hotel. I was there 3 times and I will return there for sure!!!

Comfortable clean accommodation with daily bike kit laundry included. Warm friendly competent staff . Variety of cycling options enough for any enthusiast. Food plentiful and very good from breakfast to dinner . After 20+ years of cycle touring this place is hard to beat for quality and value. We'll be back to see Roberto,Cinzia, Fabio,Elvis and Ugo the dog!

The food (breakfast and dinner) was excellent and plentiful. The proprietor, Roberto, prides himself on creating a family atmosphere, which he does with aplomb. It was a pleasure and an... More

This was my 5th stay at the Alexander in 4 years, and since finding it I have never looked for an alternative in this location. The staff literally could not be more hospitable and helpful. Normally when staying away from home in hotels in Italy I take the breakfast only option and use eating out as a means of exploring... More

This was our first visit to Gabbice Mare for cycling in the local area. We were not disappointed. A good range of rides expertly led by either a fast local semi pro rider, or more leisurely (but no less demanding) experienced German guide. Rides featuring some stunning scenery and demanding climbs, tailored to the group of riders. Cafe stops for... More

This is a truly magical hotel. Run by a family for families. We have been coming for 8 years - Italian families for generations. It's not swanky... think Bournemouth or Torquay! The relationship between quality and price is excellent. You get a real welcome from the owners Roberto and Cinzia which you will not get anywhere else. The hotel caters... More
