We spent 5 nights in he hotel, the accommodation was excellent. The rooms was cleaned and towels were changed daily. I appreciate the pleasant attitude of the staff.We had accommodation wiht breakfast, we also used the bar. The breakfast had a large slection and great coffee.The beach is close, we did not need to use the shuttle to the beachthat the hotel offers.

Hot rooms, hard beds, thin walls

The area is really nice, the beach is in the walking distance. The hotel has its own beach, use that rather than the public one. The beach towel from the hotel is 5€.That's all I can say about positive things.The room has a conditioner for 5€/day but at least in our room it was directed straight to the bed thus we couldn't keep it on during nights. However, although the conditioner was on all day in the room, as soon as we switched it off for night, the room became a hotspot and to get at least some sleep, we had to switch it back for 15 minutes during the night. I got terribly sweaty and swollen by mornings. In addition, we were eaten by mosquitos during nights. The beds are hard and pillows thin. There is no isolation between the walls, you hear your neighbours talking. The breafast is minimum, same stuff every morning. You have to ask the staff for each cup of coffee separately. The bread is not freshly baked but taken from packages. Choose this area for your vacation but not this hotel! Grotticelle Web, Marketing at Hotel Grotticelle, responded to this review Dear Customer,thanks for your review.We are sorry to read your comment on the structure but we assure you that we will do everything to resolve the reported problems.Thank you and good return home.

Hotel Grotticelle is a good hotel. The restaurant serves real Italian food with a lot of variation. Every day our appartement was clean and we got new towels. The view was breathtaking. From the mountain we had a clear view over the ocean.The Grotticelle Beach is very nice!!The hotel has a great animation team. Gianluca and his team do a great job. Especially the little ones have a great time!!To the whole Grotticelle team: GRAZIE!!!

Pretty nice hotel with in price range. Rooms are very clean, but a little small. We had a viev on the pool area, and it was nice. You have to bring something for mosquitoes, becouse they are so harassing.Breakfast is tipical and good, but dinner was excellent, fresh and delicious. You need to pay for WiFi 2E per person for a day, but you get a prrety good WiFi in all area of the hotel.Road to the beach is steep and you need about 7-10 min. walk to get there. Also you have a shuttle bus for free from the hotel and beck.Beach is beautifull, combination of sand and rocks. Very clean and pleasant temperature of sea. Beach bars are also very good and not so expensive. As a guest of a grotticelle hotel you have an parasol and sunbathing chairs for free and 2x sunbeads and a parasol are about 20E in august.
