La Foce Del Prato

The hotel has a cute Italian feel and sits high on the mountain, with a beautiful sea view. But I was genuinely disappointed by the stay. Our room was old and hot, and the towels were mismatched: large ones were white, while the small ones included a green towel with a bleached white spot and two yellow ones, one with a little duck on it. The bathroom was outside our room, in the next room, and showering after 11pm wasn’t allowed. The bedsheets were dusty and made us itch, and the walls were so thin we could hear everything around us. Flies were everywhere at dinner in the hotel restaurant, along with bees. They swarmed us and our food, so we kept waving them off. Once we finished, they moved to the next table and its newly served customers. I completely lost my appetite. We were there in early August, and the room was so hot at night that it was hard to sleep without opening the window. There was no AC or fan. We turned the light off from the start to avoid attracting mosquitoes, but there were still lots of moths and flies, and even a centipede on the ceiling. They bothered us at night and in the morning. By around 6am, flies were buzzing around our heads and waking us up. Hiding under the covers didn’t help, and it was too hot. There was no wind, so we ended up wetting towels and sleeping with them on our bodies. You could try that too. Our room was just above the restaurant, so we heard people, dishes and music. Breakfast started at 8am, making it impossible to rest in the morning. I’d already been awake since 6 because of the flies, and at 8:30 my partner was still trying to sleep after a long drive but couldn’t. I was genuinely upset. Late at night, we also heard people chatting downstairs in the restaurant, not customers, along with things being dropped and loud noises on the stairs. The menu didn’t list prices for individual dishes, just general prices for each course on a small paper by the door.
