Grazia Hotel

I stayed here for several days, travelling alone. The room was small, but clean and well appointed with a very nice bathroom, air conditioning, TV, closet, and a lovely balcony overlooking the sea and the mountains. The beach is right across the street and there is a very nice lido beach bar directly there to enjoy espressos, beers and snacks whenever you like. The hotel provided me with fresh beach towels everyday in addition to fresh towels and linens for my room. Now the real reason I love this place is the food and the family that runs the hotel. There is a typical Italian breakfast served every morning, and then lunch is served at 1pm, and dinner at 8pm. The food was so excellent i still think about it. And what amazed me the most was that everything I ate and drank was from this region of Italy. The olive oil, the wine, the pasta, the mozzarella...and all the seafood literally fished in the sea across the street. On top of the food, what really set this place apart from the countless of hotels I have stayed at (I travel a lot for my work), was the family that runs the place. They saw that I was alone and invited me to dine with them on my first night. Every meal afterwards they set a place for me at their family table. Now I don't mind dining alone, but this was really such amazing hospitality the likes of which I have never experienced before. They were so genuinely warm and hospitable, it was really such a pleasure just to be at that table. By the end of my 3 days here the family gave me hugs and kisses goodbye, gave me a gift of a book that I had admired in the lobby and arranged a car to take me to the train station. The hotel itself is in a wonderful location and is clean and charming. The food is absolutely excellent. The hospitality and warmth of the Galli family is something I will never forget.
