The hotel has a 1930's Hollywood glam vibe about it. While the room was small, the balcony and views were outstanding. Staff are exceptionally good and the parking was excellent. Located in a wonderful area, I would stay here again and again.

The property is directly across the street from the beach, the area is full of restaurants and shops. A short walk to the old city center. The restaurant has good food and the staff was great. The room was very roomy, we did have a not so great view, but i'm sure the rooms facing the water had better ones.

Hotel was in a great location, with a balcony overlooking the beach (from across the street), and a short walk to downtown area and up to La Rocca! Hotel itself is a bit of a step back in time but suited our needs and had a nice breakfast. A few minor challenges, hairdryer didn’t work, shower didn’t drain properly, and had to leave room key each time you left the hotel, which we had never come across before but otherwise worked well for us.

Great option for San Vito lo Capo. Veronica at reception is the best! Our room was exactly as pictured and comfortable. All of the staff were professional and friendly. Location is perfect for the beach. Breakfast was good and adequate, but was a bit pricey for the selection. We ate at the onsite restaurant. Our waiter was lovely, even though there were language difficulties we quickly found common ground. Do have to complain that the kitchen did not give us the couscous we ordered, and do not order steak, as this is something they do not know well. Otherwise the meal was great.
