    This property has an interesting history and a fabulous location. The hotel, restaurant and grounds are well-maintained. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed and the beds are comfortable. The shower was large and there was plenty of hot water and water pressure. The patio is a lovely place to sip coffee in the morning or an aperitivo in the afternoon. The grounds are peaceful. There’s a lovely beach nearby.

    An absolutely fabulous building steeped in history just far enough from the main track to be secluded (I visited off season); with easy parking, a fantastic rocky beach and great running / walking on the door step. Amazing staff with a great restaurant too.

    We loved the location, facilities and ambience. Just sorry we could only stay one day as it was a short stop over on our travel to the north of Italy. The access to the electric car charger was another reason we booked the place as it made it very convenient not to have to hunt around for a charging place outside the hotel. An amazing room, excellent breakfast and the breathtaking location made this stay memorable . We will tell our friends about this place for sure

    Setting is beautiful. Rooms were comfortable. The bathroom was a good size. The shower was roomy and felt great.

    This hotel is located in arguably the most beautiful part of the Italian Adriatic coast. Sleeping in an old fort was a very nice experience.

    It would be great if stuff take more time to show the property and explain how everything works. They just showed us the room. In the evening the access to the hotel (that was open during the day) from the sea side was closed. And no one from the stuff mentioned before how to get back there or told us about opening hour of the sea side gate. It took time to find a closed door and small bell in the darkness. Same way no explanation about changing rooms at the pool. No place to dry your swimsuits

    The location is very beautiful and nicely maintained, breakfast and bistro/bar food is delicious

    Great in every way for relaxation in the garden or the pool or if you want to swim in the ocean, just 50 m away. The fortress itself is amazing. Good breakfast and for those who want to experience what Italy has to offer in food from the ocean, I highly recommend dinner at the restaurant on the terrace overlooking the sea. Perfect resipe for beautiful and romantic date.

    A great place for a short break.

    Room (classic) slightly small. Exit routes toward public beach with its restaurants are not clear. Staff said only remote (and dark) access gate was open for residents via an entry-phone at night, whereas a much closer gate actually left open all the time but signed not available to residents. No-one stopped us, or other guests, using it but management should get messages right. Alternative (asphalt) route good for cars but too long for casual stroll.

    Great location with oasis of green around charming eco-pool, plus of course right on sea front with direct access. great views and reasonably quiet. Good room decor, good breakfast, very helpful staff. Restaurant on terrace had splendid view and interesting, slightly fussy but fairly priced, food.

    Hotel restaurant only offered expensive cordon bleu food, a 2 course meal with one glass of wine for 2 people was circa 100 euros. Early May is very quiet. This hotel would be at its best in June to September when its extensive outside space would be great for eating/drinking resting

    Location was great, perfect for access to both beaches and best local restaurants.

    Full of history and stunning location. We were delayed by 10 hours due to the A1 been closed but were met at 2 am , Room was stunning and great breakfast. Our only niggle was that we did not arrive on time to be able to have an evening meal. We will have to return to be able to do this. Lovely surroundings and enjoyed our brief stay

    Fortino Napoleonico is a lovely facility with a great history and a beautiful setting. It was our one splurge on the trip and was probably a bit overpriced but comfortable, beautiful and excellent food.
