Not worth the money. Overrated. We stayed here for 4 nights, 5 days. BREAKFAST. If food is a big thing to you - expect to have exactly the same breakfast every day. people who works there asking sweet or salty breakfast and you have to tell what you would like the next morning. salty breakfast is some granola with yogurt, fruits (which are not fresh, maybe a watermelon but definitely not melon and nectarine perhaps where sliced into pieces evening before and presented on the plate for people in the morning. also some scramble eggs and some ham. you do not have a choice to have anything else so if you want to stay more then 2 days it definitely getting boring eating the same food. My mum tried sweet breakfast option so it was only 2 sweet cakes which tasted very disappointing. ROOM #8. Our room where we stayed was number 8 which had shower drainage system blocked so all water after showering was staying for hours and not draining, also wardrobe has broken handles, definitely need some maintenance done as this place is still new but feels like it is not looked after well. LOCATION. there is literally nothing around, don't get me wrong, some people coming here from Rome and trying to escape the city life but if you are traveller and came to visit Rome and be close to the sea this place is not for you. They do rent bikes which on the arrival no one told us about only second day when we asked whats the best way to get to the beach (4km away) they advise that they can call taxi or we can rent a bikes which are 10 eu per bike. bikes are old and do not have lights so its dangerous to ride it in the dark be aware of that. STAFF. on the first day July 21st evening was a girl in the reception who couldn't speak in english so after we arrived she just said hi and said "come" means "please follow me to your room" . no introduction to the resort, no wifi, no information provided about absolutely anything. It made as really not welcomed we even wondered to leave this place and find another place to stay. The following day was a different receptionist (might be a little bit older) she was sweet and knew her job well, thanks to her. Also greetings to Indian boy he was lovely and made us feel welcome. POOL. pool is lovely and definitely the best thing about this place. Hopefully this review will help for people who is looking to book accommodation. Won't recommend to my...
Read moreExceptional boutique hotel. 100% worth it! The location is a 20 min drive from the Roma Fiumicino Airport and 10 min drive from Cantro Vento beach club in which beach chairs by the ocean are included for guests of Santa Lucia. The main city area in Rome is about a 40 min drive.
Coming from the Suburbs of New York, we felt like a stepped into a peaceful, high end desert spa. The relaxing pool greeted us on our left and a cabana style restaurant near reception. The location is quiet and peaceful in nature. Perfect for anyone looking to get away from the city.
Livia did a wonderful job making sure we were taken care of throughout our stay. All the staff were smiling and sweet. The hotel grounds included a spa area with sauna and wood fired tub (we didn’t have time to use these amenities but look forward to returning), a large pool, hot tub, and plenty of swings and seating areas to read, journal, or soak in the peacefulness.
We enjoyed the fresh fruit for breakfast and I must say, the espresso/americano was the best I’ve tasted. Nothing like in the USA.
The room was clean and beautifully styled. We loved the smell of the soap and hair products.
One side note, being that the hotel is in a remote area, the wifi signal is not strong.
Over all, 5 stars :) Thank you for having us and we look forward...
Read moreAbsolutely Beautiful ! This property is meticulously maintained by the owner and his incredible staff. I had the unexpected pleasure of staying here after my flight was cancelled last week. Unfortunately my stay was less than 24 hours. The pool, restaurant, bar area, patio areas and spa areas are gorgeous ! Wonderful wines were displayed everywhere in the restaurant ! My room had everything I needed and more. The window in the roof above my pillow was an incredible addition to my sleep experience. Wow ! What a surprise that was !||Hillary, the receptionist/server/bartender/ guest services/ #1 all around amazing hotel employee took such great care of me after a very stressful start to my day. |She was amazing ! She even helped arrange my transportation back to the airport the next morning. I can't say enough good things about my stay here. To land in such tranquility after such a chaotic start to my day was a Godsend. I will be forever grateful to these lovely people and this beautiful place to remind myself that it's always a luxury to be stuck in Italy for an extra day ! Bellissimo ! And grazie to my new friends at Santa Lucia Maccarese -...
