Staff were great. We found value for the little amount of money we spent.
PATRICK, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Definitely a quiet accommodation so good if you’re looking for rest. Close to the beach and a couple restaurants and a grocery store. The front desk was super helpful, Valentina was absolutely amazing and from the moment we arrived we felt so taken care of, her energy and vibe was refreshing and she was friendly 10/10 for her!

Really run down property. Got completely sunk by the photos online. Aircon only works- really badly at night. Not much to do in the area and only 3 restaurant's to choose from. Can’t say I will ever choose to return

The dinner and breakfast spread was delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful even though most didn't really speak English but again, this is Italy, so I don't expect many to speak English.

Mostly good value
Rooms are good with basic facilities, cleaning is excellent but some of the staff in reception need basic training in hospitality. No bar or restaurant service besides breakfast

good but old
Good location, large hotel car park for free, 4star only in 80s or 70s now too old fashion (furniture, lift, ....), quite small rooms, not to bad breakfast, but could be better, friendly stuff (but mostly dont speak other langugages). clean, good wifi, A/C

Disappoint
I am very disappointed about Callifo Hotel, no Wifi Connect in my room during my 6 day stayed. My son stood in the corridor to get wifi connect to his tablet every day. The staff were not friendly, poor breakfast in the morning not much variety, cold coffee no tropical fruits, just basic cakes and biscuits. the bath towels stink.
Lucielane, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

This was probably the worst experience for myself and my child. We was bitten every night by bedbugs. My sons body is cover up in bites. I was woken with leaks in my bedroom pouring down from the ceiling to the extent I had to put a bucket and towels on the floor. Breakfast was the worst. For the 10 nights we were there. My son was unable to eat breakfast. When I complained about this, the staff was very rude and unhelpful. This hotel should be shut down. Not even a kettle for tea in the rooms or a bottle of water with glass. We practically met an empty room upon our arrival.
Francesca, 10-night trip

6/10 Good

Our room 6 in the residence building was spacious. The bathroom was nice, plenty of towels, great water pressure in the shower, but ran out of hot water when showering easily. Ants in the clothing cabinet and also on the floor near it and near the foot of the bed. Kitchen functional, but the only frying pan was old scratched Teflon. Stove and pan not suitable for cooking steaks. Bed not very comfortable. Hot tub near the pool did not work. Appearance of hotel is that it needs updating. Staff friendly/helpful. I sent a message to the hotel through Expedia asking if they could send my husband's swim trunks to us (forgot them in the bathroom). We would gladly pay postage. No response from the hotel. Disappointed in that.
Wendy, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

We arrived at the hotel, the parking area outside had cracked pots lying about. Upon entering the reception area it was clean and fairly modern, misleading us to believe that our room would mirror this. We were given the key, then first red flag should have been the lift area, literally writing on the wall. Tiny and again dated. 2nd floor apartment, we entered, it was noisy and very dated. Metal ceiling panels with the air conditioner right above it. Noise was unbearable. Bathroom, cracked sink and shower curtain that obviously liked the feel of skin! Waant rhe cleanest curtain either. The hairdryer wouldn't even blow a cobweb never mind your hair! The shower leaked. Bedroom, two twin beds one sheet one pillow. We had to request extra linen and pillows. An old tv wall mount for the larger 1980's style tv with a tiny flat screen plonked on top, which was so high picture wasn't worth having. Not enough plugs, no kettle or cups, the facilities were shocking. The shutter on balcony kept falling down with a heavy thud. Balcony, no furniture to sit on. Not as described regarding hotel offering. No pool music, no atmosphere, no pool bar despite being mentioned, you had to get dressed and walk back up stairs to go to the cafe section in hotel. If you were lucky enough to find a member of staff to serve you. No pool bbqs at all. The pool was dirty. The blue tiles in pool taking on a lovely beige colour and the pool wasn't once netted and debris removed.

I am a travel agency employee and travel worldwide to many countries. I have experienced many different hotels and their service. We travel agencies check on behalf of the organizers and also recommend the hotels. When I arrived I had been up for 36 hours and just wanted to take a shower, I was told upon arrival that the suitcases were next to me and I had to pay the bill for the room first. I gave the gentleman my credit card, but was annoyed because I had never in my life had to pay the bill immediately upon arrival. Only a few days later or at the end was actually normal. Since my credit card is secured with my bank and I receive a code on my cell phone to activate the amount, it didn't work because my cell phone couldn't yet connect to the Italian network. The gentleman didn't understand me because I didn't speak Italian and he didn't speak English well. Normally you also enter your ID number, but he tried about 6 times. I gave him my bank card, which is valid throughout Europe, but no, it is not accepted. He kept trying the credit card. I just thought the card would be blocked immediately. A colleague then told him that the bank card would also work. After the debit I was allowed to enter the room. I was extremely angry because I had never experienced anything like this before. Doesn't make a good impression either. The room was cleaned every day, but every now and then they forgot to leave me shower towels. I then got it at reception. The two toilet paper rolls were jus

Dommage que cet établissement est retiré du centre.. Dommage qu’il faut traversé l’accueil pour accéder à la piscine. L’isolation est médiocre = on entant tout ce qu’il se passe dans les couloirs, à l’étage et dès que les agents font le ménage.. L’agent d’accueil de nuit nous a bien à guider et renseigner sur notre séjour dans l’établissement.

Inte nöjd
Hotellet är absolut inte värt 4 stjärnor, snarare 1-2 stjärnor. Hotellet är i behov av renovering. AC:n är riktigt dålig då den låter mycket och inte kyler rummet. Vi bytte hotell. Personalen var dock mycket trevlig och tillmötesgående.

Frühstück immer gleich, Rührei ekelhaft, keine richtige Kaffee, aus dem Kanne kommt einfach schwarze Flüssigkeit, 15 Sorten Küchen statt paar Scheiben frischen Tomaten oder gurken. Zu laut in Fluren, Föhn uralt,mit einem Rohr zusammen mit Klebeband gebunden.Fast Keine Balkon. Kaum Möglichkeiten wäsche zu trockenen bzw Bikinis oder nasse Handtücher. Abend nichts los,,in Hotel keine Animation oder sonst was.Wenn jemand ohne Auto hier bleiben will würde ich nie empfehlen.
