I want to point out: there are no swimming pool nor hot tub. It was important for me. On another hand, the location is perfect. Short walk from the train station. Mostly, flat. Big grocery store within 600 metras. You can have your breakfast on a terrace, looking on a blue water of the sea. Breakfast very fulfilling.

Very nice family run hotel in a great location. Close for walking to old town in 15 minutes. We had a large room with private balcony and partial ocean view. Easy to park in their large lot. You get free beach chairs and towels included at a very nice beach across the street and use of the swimming pool at a neighboring hotel. The breakfast buffet was wonderful with all sorts of options including three kinds of eggs, cereals, yogurts, cheeses, meats, juices, croissants, etc, etc A great place for us.

Pros: across from beach with reserved sunbeds, walking distance to city center, good breakfast. Cons: rundown rooms: shower rusty, ants in room, broken blow dryer, poorly maintained air conditioner. Amenities not as depicted: no hot tub and no nearby pool as shown. Poor experience: I had 2 rooms rundown as described above. AC was not functioning in one room and flooded in the other room. Staff did address issues. Also there is a cafe/bar that has very loud music playing until 1:00 am which made sleep difficult. NOT FOUR STAR establishment in my opinion.

I can’t believe the reviews on this converted communal home that transformed itself into a Hotel. I have been traveling to Italy for 20 years and this is the first time the reviews let me down. This is NOT a hotel please don’t be fooled by the label.

Well located hotel, near the beach where you have free access to chairs and parasols. Swimming pool by the sea a five-minute walk away. Bord walk to get to the very beautiful old town. Very good breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. Basic room, very narrow bed and mattress too firm. Smashed patio chairs! suggestion: Offer a free bottle of water

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Parking was easy, in an overgrown lot next to the hotel. Breakfast was good and caffè great. The rooms are a bit dated and worn down. Meets 3 star expectations though. Not a luxury property but a 15-minute walk from the downtown area and very accessible to the beach. Recommend.

Tiny room, even tinier shower, though the bathroom was fair-sized. Poor to non-existent wifi. Included beach service several blocks away, not just across the street as advertised but it was too hot & windy to use it anyway.

Positives were: Good location, nicestaff and clean rooms. Negatives: Bad pillows, hotel pool closed as was the hotels private beach. We had to argue for complimentary lido usage during our stay. Breakfast was limited but that was mainly due to COVID restrictions and this perfectly normal.

Spend a week in Hotel Villa Gaia, lovely hotel across from the beach, short walk to town. Breakfast was great, WiFi and air conditioning in the room all fine. Rooms very clean.
