Staff very friendly, location the best. Walking distance to the port with easy access to bars and restaurants. Great view of the sea from all the rooms. Beach was OK given the nature of the location although maybe a bit better maintenance would make it better.

My biggest disappointment was the room. It was one of 2 smallest rooms and using with physical keys. All the other rooms had electronic leys. The door was a sliding door, providing very little security. The entrance was difficult as it angles passed the entrance door. The bathroom was very small and the shower also very small.

Delicious breakfast with a whole range of local products. The breakfast service was very nice and helpful. Breakfast room with breathtaking view of the sea!!!!!!! A room with a view of the sea and the sound of the waves. The hotel is just a few steps from the center. The hotel also has a beautiful terrace. The room size was satisfactory, the bathroom was well-equipped and the beds were comfortable.

The view was fantastic from the room and from the terrace where dinner was served. There are two room sizes. We had a double superior room that had plenty of room on the 2nd floor with the lovely sounds of waves at night. Ac and Wi-Fi worked great and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom was upgraded and the shower was great. Some older reviews mentioned smells but they had some problems in the town that had been corrected and we did not experience any smells. Breakfast was good with a number of options. We did not use the beach area but it was set up well and was a great opportunity to jump in the sea steps from your beach chair.

Dinner was great for the first meal but for the second meal we did not ask enough questions and were disappointed since the menus were only in Italian. The waiters and owner speak good English and are happy to help if you ask. We were concerned because the Booking.com rating was lower than places where we normally stay but we were pleasantly surprised and is the reason for my long review.

This is a beautiful area, hotel is located 300 m from the center square on the hill and you can admire the bay! There is a big open spacious terrace with sea view for lunch and dinners! Our room was with a sea view, you fall asleep to the rustle of the waves at night! Wonderful!

minor problems like the bathroom door not closing well

The hotel was chosen for its location in Porto Santo Stefano. we were looking for a hotel on the beach in a beautiful seaside village and this fit the bill perfectly. The room was comfy, the AC & TV worked perfectly. Parking was no problem, hotel breakfast, dinner and all amenities were all great. their chef is super. Staff was friendly, the private beach and bar were very nice. A 5 minute walk puts you in the heart of the village with more restaurants and shops, etc.

Getting English language on the TV's was a challenge, but we figured out one station we could watch. There is no laundry service, so plan ahead. It would have been handy to have the evening restaurant menu printed in English, but the wait staff was always happy to translate. The beach lounges were assigned by room, which in our case kind of put us off in the boonies. Looking forward, changing out the lounges to something a little more versatile and adjustable would be nice.

Breakfast was good but we are more used to self-service. Having said that, the staff were fantastically friendly and were so sweet in accommodating my non-existent Italian!

Nothing - every single member of staff from the gentleman who was working in the kitchen when we arrived at 1.00 AM to the cleaning team and reception, were always cheerful and very welcoming/friendly.

All was good

only two things spoilt it from being a great experience and this is why we have given a poor rating to facilities and good ratings to everything else. 1. The breakfast system is TERRIBLE - it actually ruins a great experience. Worst system we have ever experienced in the world. 2. The wifi would not allow us to make a what's app voice call which made things difficult for us

Close to the water for swimming There were 2 sundecks for our room Breakfast was good Staff were friendly 5 minutes walking distance to bars and restaurants We took the local bus from Orbetello Train Station to Porto Santo Stefano then walked 15minutes to the hotel

Nothing

Breakfast was fantastic. Staff were very helpful and fun. Great views right on the beach. Short stroll into Porto Santo Stefano centro. Great upper level balcony to join friends for a cocktail. Cute table next to window with view of beach.

The bed and pillows were hard and uncomfortable which is the reason I didn't give "comfort" a good rating. Also needed is in room coffee maker. Tiny shower with no place for shampoo and soap.

The rooms were clean and fresh with the blue/ white color scheme. Right on the water we loved that we were so close to the lapping waves. Great breakfast and very helpful staff. Close, easy walking distance to the restaurants for dinner was a bonus and parking right out front very helpful. A great hotel highly recommended, we would return to the same hotel next time.

The shower was very, very small. Pillows we're typically Italian pillows - hard!
