family wedding
wedding visit to italy, hotel tidy clean food a little disappointing, also almost all staff could not speak any english, maybe because they dont seem to get any visitors from the uk, other than that quite friendly so overall nice stay.
The high point was the giant swimming pool, which we found more than tolerable in spite of the early date (mid-May) to the shock of the staff! The only small disappointment was to not have any fresh bread for breakfast our first morning, but it was more than made up for when the clerk offered to share her birthday sweet pastries with us. Thank you Jessica!
hotel was magnificent in beauty and cleanliness. It is in a great location on right on the water. We were there off season so breakfast left a lot to be b=desired. All starch. No hot meals and no restaurant service. Staff speaks little to no English so this could be problem especially if you need help.
I cant add anything to the pictures already posted, the Grand Hotel Balestrieri is a Five Star Hotel is every way. I has an immaculate lobby, pool area, garden area, each room has a private balcony overlooking the Sea and the pool area. The receptionist, Gessica was more than professional, she works hard to ensure your stay is a great one and mine sure was. What a place to stay. I was coming from Sicily driving toward the Adriatic Coast of Italy and needed a stop before the long drive and this place surely fit my needs. If you too are driving around Italy be sure to make this a place to stop and enjot the luxury of the Hotel and the outstanding pool area this hotel offers.
it was already off season so breakfast had no protein offered, but great coffee selection. Dining room wasn't open, so needed to go out for dinner.
Personnel was friendly, helpful and polite.
Le restaurant pour le souper ne sert qu’un buffet mais par contre le buffet était excellent

Hotell rom, uteområde, service og mat
Flott hotell. Veldig fint og reint rom, flott balkong. Flott basseng og badestrand. Veldig dårlig luft i spiselokalene. Dårlig frokost, nesten bare kaker. Lunsj og middag var av dårlig kvalitet, vi spiste på nabohotellet. Forferdelig høy musikk hele dagen. Smilende resepsjonister, men de kunne ikke engelsk, vi brukte Google translate.
