Punta Chiarito Resort

The setting is stunning, though it's quite secluded, so don't expect to go far. We had a delicious lunch and a couple of good dinners at the restaurant. My husband felt poorly after one dinner, but we're not sure whether the food, octopus, was the reason. The rooms are small and dated, with noisy fans and bright lights, but the terrace views are remarkable. The pools look a little tired, though we still enjoyed them. Staff were super friendly. Breakfast was decent and served in a lovely setting. I thought the extra charges for towels and robes were unnecessary.

I expected this to be one of the best weeks of my life, and it was. The views from almost every corner are spectacular, and we loved the warm pool and the beach just below, with its stunning clear water and lots of fish. The room was lovely and had everything we needed for the week. Punta Chiarito is a cosy, charming hotel in the most stunning spot I've ever been. It's run by a wonderful local family, and every staff member was warm and attentive. They looked after us so well that by the end of the week it felt like saying goodbye to friends. The owner, Nicola, is a smiley man in his eighties who built the place from nothing forty years ago. He proudly showed us around the cellar and all the produce. His grandson, Nicola, was chatty and charming and looked after us at lunch every day in the cantina, which you must eat at, along with Giovanni, Franco, and Francesco. The service was excellent, outshone only by the incredible food. Mariano and Maria were wonderful at dinner every night, and even took care of delivering our sundown negroni to the room. The family's farm and vineyard supply a glorious range of fresh fruit and vegetables, along with wine and olive oil. We ate to our heart's content all week. Everything was amazing. This is a truly unique spot, and we're already planning to return.

We were very pleased as soon as we arrived for our three-night stay at Punta Chiarito Resort, where we were attending a wedding in Italy with a friend. The views were incredible, the setting beautiful and spacious, never feeling overcrowded, and the service was amazing. Nikola welcomed us and was so lovely, taking time to make us feel special. The rest of the staff did the same. We stayed in the annex building and were a little nervous after reading other reviews about how far away it is and what the rooms are like. But the free shuttle to and from our room came quickly, and we used it every day. It was actually really quick, arriving within 5 mins of us calling each time. The rooms there were spacious and quiet, just what we wanted. The food and wine at the resort were amazing, especially the tomatoes grown on site and the olive oil made there. We wanted a few really relaxing days and couldn't have had a better time. Everyone we met at the resort returns year after year, and we'll definitely be back. :)

The rooms were comfortable and clean, though the decor feels out of date. I loved the setting, perched at the end of a cliff with sea views in every direction, and the food was outstanding, with fresh fish and vegetables and olives from the hotel's farm. The pools use natural thermal spring water, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Guests were calm and polite, too. Getting into the sea means taking steep stairs to a narrow, rocky public spot that gets crowded. Panza is walkable via a steep road, but there isn't much to see there. Still, the hotel facilities made this a great place to unwind and spend a few days.
