Club del Sole Tenuta Primero Grado Family Resort

"The biggest issue with this destination is the ongoing crab invasion in the sea. Practically nobody is swimming because the shoreline and water are full of crabs. If you are planning to visit primarily for the beach and sea, be aware of this situation. What made it even more frustrating was that there was no mention of it anywhere in the resort description or promotional materials. It was an unpleasant surprise that effectively ruined our vacation. Because of this, we decided to leave after just one night. Unfortunately, the resort has a strict no-refund policy, so we lost the money we had paid (their voucher for 400€ is worthless as we are not going to exercise it, and the resort knows it). In the end, I preferred paying for a new resort in another country rather than staying here. The accommodation also does not meet the standards of a 4-star resort. Personally, I would rate it closer to 2 stars. The bungalows/mobile homes feel like quickly assembled structures made from lightweight panels. They creak and squeak with every step, offer very limited living space, and there were a lot of mosquitoes around the unit. The food was another disappointment. We paid for the resort's version of an all-inclusive package, but we only stayed long enough for one dinner and one breakfast. The food quality was mediocre and certainly not what I would expect from an Italian resort. There were no proper juices available, three out of four coffee machines were out of order, and there were frequent shortages of plates and glasses. Overall, this was one of the most disappointing resort experiences we have had. If access to the sea and a genuine 4-star standard are important to you, I would strongly recommend considering other options."

Hotel Fonzari

"They were very nice as we got a bigger room than we ordered. Very nice gift in the room (panettone, champagne). Unfrtunately this hotel is a little bit old and poor quality for everything, everywhere... The room is old quality, so basic hotel... 3 star hotel rather than 4. The bar and restaurant were closed during this Christmas period. Breakfast was of excellent quality and generous. Once we kept him for a few nights but he was not our favourite..."
