10/10 Exceptional

Impressive, modern, classy, and very clean property. Fantastic amenities, i.e, multiple pools, spa on property, and great dining. I was impressed the moment I walked into the lobby. We'll certainly be guest there again.
Anthony, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent hotel with lovely pools and facilities. The gym is poor and shouldn’t have a surcharge, but everything else is great. Great staff, and the pool bar is very convenient. It’s a 20 minute walk to anything (each way) and the only way to and from the train station is by taxi which isjt cheap so bear that in mind
Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a lovely, slightly out of the way, four star hotel. Facilities are very good. Menu limited if staying for more than a few days but it’s very good food. Walking and public transport are a bit awkward but if you have a car there is no issue with that. The spa facilities are very nice. Best part of my stay!
Stephen, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Room walls are paper thin, lovely grounds but very tired building & rooms. Shower head was in need of clean as water went everywhere that’s assuming it didn’t fall out of its holder! Dinner was nice and staff all very friendly. We were only here for 1 night stop so it served its purpose.
Fiona, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful gardens and professional staff

Wonderful surroundings - the grounds are beautiful with well cured gardens. Staff are very professional and pleasant. Rooms are ok and airy. The main pool opened at 10am which was a bit late for us as we like to take an early dip. The only negative was the room sound proofing, where we could hear very well the people in the next room.
Antoinette, 2-night trip

Room furniture was worn out and stained. I stated this as well in a review dated May, 2022
Stephen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The bed is super hard. The food isn’t good. No coffee in the room. It’s more like a three star hotel. The blinds don’t actually keep the light out of the room.
jonathan, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful setting and gardens. Staff unfailingly friendly and helpful.A few. minor problems, most fixed promptly.Over-designed,irritating taps in basin which could not deliver a bowl of hot water.Shower panels fixed too high so it leaked.Endless repetitive 'dinner jazz' muzak. Food great but menu same daily unless you have 'half board' and no one, including hotels .com explained that the was an option

Grazie!!! Professionalità! Ad oggi cosa per pochi! Oltre il bello della struttura! Qualche piccola mancanza c'è sempre per chi osserva le mancanze!!!!! Invece davvero grazie perché avete un ottima squadra! Grazie!!!! Perché le osservanze sono oltre le piccolezze!!! A breve.

c'est un très bel hôtel, chouette endroit. Le spa est un vrai plus. Il vaut mieux être en voiture, car c'est en flan de montagne et la navette dispo qu'a partir du mois de juin. Dommage que les piscines extérieurs étaient fermés. Le personnel est très sympathique et vous aide volontairement. Pescara en lui même est sans interêt (pour moi) la digue pas terrible et les plages privées étaient fermés

Buona struttura. Molto gentili e disponibili

Molto gentili e disponibili. Buona struttura. Gradirei poter acquistare la colazione tramite app hotel.com (anche dovendo inserire un sovraccosto). Ma mantenendo 1 unico pagamento. Grazie

Nettes Hotel mit Potenzial

Personal ist extrem freundlich. Der Wellnessbereich ist recht schön. Das Frühstück typisch italienisch mit Kuchen. Das Restaurant und der Frühstücksraum sind recht kühl gehalten. Zimmer sind nicht sehr modern aber ok.
