Arguably the best location in Castiglioncello, with a perfect view over the bay and a staircase down to the sea and the beach, but nevertheless not necessarily a good deal. The hotel as such offered a small room of rather substandard kind, with a distinct smell of bad pipeing, which although sprayed intensly by the staff recurred later in the... More

Rooms with perfect seaview. They are rather basic and small. Staff is friendly and helpfull. Especially mrs. Dona Morozzi is a charming and professional receptionist. Breakfast is Italian and poor (plastic cups !). It's a pity that the hotel has no chairs etc on the beach. You have to rent chairs and umbrellas on a nearby beachbar.

The hotel's location is excellent, our room had a view on the below cliffs and the bay. The room was nice, and the staff was kind. The hotel's restaurant was very good, with very nice personnel and wonderful fresh seafood. Having read some reviews, I should add that all I heard at night was the sound of waves hitting the...

I generally like hotels with character and this is one of such places. Our room had a breathtaking view from the balcony and was clean and comfortable in general. The breakfast was light but dinner excellent. On the negative side there is a railroad quite close to the hotel and the occasional trains make some noise that could bother some... More

Lovely location and marvelous view from our window. The room wasn't too large but didn't feel uncomfortable. The bathroom was ok, everything worked. The windows have to stay closed or the noise of the trains passing by from the near railway will not allow you to sleep. However, since the air conditioning was well working, we could keep the windows... More

We travelled to this "hotel" from Hungary by car, and never ever met such negligent hotel management and poor service before anywhere in Europe. There is no parking space for foreign travellers, only for guest from Italy and for the hotel manager (who parked his BMW in two parking places... no comment..).
