    The views are spectacular. The service was great. Breakfast is exceptional with so many choices, At dinner I received my first amuse bouche. The star for us was the bar tender Pietro. He was engaging and knowledgeable. He answered questions from sightseeing to history. He also made an amazing Hugo spritz. The stunning view from the outside dining is a must experience. There is a park and trail behind the hotel. The trail leads to an amazing overvuewof the sea and the sea pool. All this in a romantic, elegant, old world setting.

    This hotel is just simply beautiful. What a wonderful place. Staff were nice. Great location with an elevator to get from the hotel to the Main Street (avoids the hill walk). Stunning views from all over. Nice restaurant on site for great food and drinks. Very enthusiastic bar man. Clean and tidy rooms. Overall a wonderful stay. Next time we will be staying longer

    Room decor matched that of a castle. Maybe update that, but overall it was a very nice hotel.

    Very nice hotel. I didn't realize it was a castle! The elevator to the tunnel is super fun! Location and views - both excellent!

    I think it’s fine to have to pay extra to use the beach but hotel guests should be able to access the water in the “pool” for free

    Amazing location including the views from the bar and reception; well-kept buildings and grounds; you felt special there. Plus the staff are great

    The mattresses

    Beautiful seaside property with a private beach and Michelin rated restaurant. Lovely architecture and grounds. It has a private beach which is rather small. And the “pool” is an area of water in the ocean by the beach. It’s a very nice facility. I wish the mattress was more comfortable but that seems to be an issue in many places in Italy

    Wish you had alternate dinner options that aren’t so expensive and fancy. Maybe lower level is fancy and upper level is more of a cafe menu. Room doors and windows weren’t soundproof. We heard a lot of outside noise.

    Excellent breakfast. Beautiful location and views

    I liked everything very much.

    The location is exclusive and private. Easy connection to the city using the hotel's private elevator going down to the beach. The rooms are stylish, the breakfast selection is large and the meals are delicious. The hotel is surrounded by a large and well-maintained park.

    The distance from the water. The “pool” is actually a natural inlet not really easy to reach

    The hotel is in an ancient castle, absolutely beautiful

    We found the bed rather uncomfortable (we prefer foam to springs, or at least a foam topper) and the poor sound proofing to the adjacent room mean we suffered a lot of noise when they came in late.

    Beautiful situation and lovely large room with terrace.
