Parco dei Principi Resort & SPA

Lovely hotel, beautiful grounds. Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Not many spoke English but we went very early/just out of season so fewer staff and less guests. We had fun using my little knowledge of Italian and google translate. Pool area was very nice but not very large or deep so nice to take a dip to cool off, not great for swimming. Not much shade. Private beach area nice but nothing open and not allowed in the sea as not in season (no life guard), although website said open in May the hotel staff said June. (A short walk away was a public beach. However, water was freezing so not something we were keen to do!) It was nice and quiet, but towards the end of the week they were doing maintenance getting ready for the season. Spa was lovely, extra money to use as we’d only booked B&B but again staff were lovely and the spa was very nice. We were treated to the private spa experience. The breakfast was plentiful and varied, a lot of pastries but not much fruit on offer. Eggs cooked to order and staff went out of their way to be accommodating. Our hotel room, situated a few steps from the garden, was modern and spacious, with a good sized bathroom with a large shower. Balcony with two chairs & small table and lovely sea view. Only downside was no tea/coffee making facilities or easy chairs in room. Would have been nice to have room for loungers on the balcony. There was a small fridge and a safe. I would stay here again but bring a travel kettle & travel iron.
