One of the best hotels I stayed in a while....
Ignore non sense poor reviews on Expedia!
This hotel is a real 4 stars. I'm half Italian and have been to gabicce mare before but I can say that this one has one of the best views there. Clear high view of the sea front and the amazing mountains on the right... Perfect!
The bar is also great as you can order anything from an aperitivo with Italian snacks (that truffle cheese!) to cakes and croissants for a late breakfast as we had. The barman is top and funny and brings your drinks and snacks to the beautiful terrace with the view described above. Again... Perfect!
All rooms have a different sea front view, however we decided to upgrade to the one on top of the restaurant with a huge balcony and sun loungers... Best extra I ever paid.
The italian breakfast is quite good too.(we didn't have full board so I can't comment on lunch and dinner)
The free parking is an almost necessary thing in gabicce as public parking is almost impossible next to most hotels, this was great as we used the car quite often.
The swimming pool is quite nice and relaxing with all the sun loungers and the nice view but the biggest surprise for us was the half indoor heated pool with whirlpool function... That practically saved our rainy day! There's also a mini gym and a mini sauna next it it. We used it after our spritz aperitivo... ;)
But the cherry on the cake was the personnel... Super friendly and proactive!
Looking for an excuse to go back...
Congratulations to all the stuff!
