Kaly — Hotel in Ventimiglia

We had been to the Kaly once before many years ago when we were passing through on our way further into Italy. We always remembered it and when the opportunity arose to explore this part of Italy a bit more, we decided to go back. We were there for ten nights and had the second floor suite (Room 211) which has a large bedroom and a smaller living toom with a sofabed, a table and chairs and - crucially - a fridge. But the glory of the suite is its large balcony overlooking the beach.||We alternated our days, exploring one day and resting and reading the next. The Kaly was ideal for this. ||Breakfast is excellent value at only 5 euros each but with a good buffet selection and a coffee machine which some people used themselves - but we were grateful to be served by the very friendly staff! ||The suite was very comfortable with a good air-conditioning system (which we needed as the temperature rarely dropped below 30C during the day and was in the high 20s during the night. The system was a little noisy but we get used to it and it didn't disturb our sleep.||The modern bathroom was excellent with a large shower and a bidet as well as sink and toilet - and everything worked well.||There is a supermarket just round the corner and we were able to buy salad and cold meats and the like as well as cold drinks to put in the fridge which meant we did not have to eat out at every meal. ||There is a good restaurant next door - the Amadora - which we would recommend - but there are also lots of other places to eat not far away.||The Kaly is good value at 135 euros per night for the suite - you would pay a lot more in some places in a situation like this. ||Complaints? Well only one and it is nothing the hotel can do anything about. The bar next door - the Mad Men - has a disco/live music on a Sunday evening. It was very loud and went on to just after midnight and it meant we could not use the balcony on the two Sunday nights we were there. The rest of the week, the bar was no problem. But this is a minor matter in what was a most enjoyable stay in Ventimiglia. Thank you to all the staff who made the...

It's very comfortable and cosy place to stay in this area. Rooms are modern enough and have sufficient space not to fill yourself straitened. The room with two bedrooms has also two mini-fridges and TVs. There are options in the ground floor with it's own patio. Free wifi in the rooms.||||Friendly and very helpful staff. The breakfasts are for only 5 euros daily. You can find there ham, boiled eggs, fresh bakery, yogurts, some fruits, tea and coffee. ||||The most important thing is that a beach close to hotel isn't overloaded as compared to other parts of village. There is a quite large supermarket nearby. The Ventimiglia train station is in 20 minutes on foot, making possible to reach the hotel from the Cote d'Azur airport in Nice without the help of taxis. It's not very easy to park a car nearby, the private hotel parking seems to be small and I suggest asking about...

Hotel Kaly is the place where I probably will stay again next summer.||I ran into it accidentally, on return from my Roman ruins excursion.||The hotel has a lovely and relaxed air, the lady at the reception was very accomodating.||When I process my photos you will see that the hotel's guests can literally have the whole beach to||themselves - there's no less than the territory of a good football field per one person!!||What's important - and not always typical for the region - they answer any request promptly.||P.S. Summer 2016||Yes, I've been there! And it's even better than I thought :)))||Unique Qualities: Quiet, friendly, easy-going||They really treat the hotel's guests...
