Castello della Fava

Selv om vi betalte 1/3 av "normal pris" var dette i overkant. Ikke noe luksushotell, men en typisk enorm syden-turistmaskin. I resepsjonen fikk vi feil og dårlig informasjon om utflukter og annet. Styr unna rom under utblåsning fr vaskeri. Silkebukse ble ødelagt i samme vaskeri! Jeg ble Chlor-forgiftet og syk en dag. Noen rom har vindu ut til gang. Middelmådig og dyr mat.

Fint hotell. Bra med basseng

This hotel is priced and marketed as a five-star property, but it doesn’t deliver. You pay extra for most things you’d expect to be included: the sun loungers down by the beach cost €100 a day, and only a few are free. Coffee in the room costs extra, and you’re given just one towel per day that you have to swap yourself using a towel-card system. All this hassle makes the place feel poorly organized. The beach is also a fair distance from the hotel, considerably further than the photos online suggest. The staff were not particularly helpful, and several of them didn’t understand us when we couldn’t speak Italian. At the restaurant there were plenty of staff on shift, but everyone stood around idle. No one came over to take our order until we practically had to walk up to them ourselves to ask if we could order food. Breakfast was mediocre. When we arrived, we accepted the offer to have our luggage brought up to the room, but after waiting a good while I had to go down and collect it myself. In short: a place that feels more luxurious in its marketing than in reality, where you pay extra for almost everything.
