Valentino SPA Resort

The restaurant and location were both great, and the service was very helpful. It was surprisingly busy in the area even out of season, though the stay felt even more relaxing then. A genuinely good choice for a short break.

I felt really comfortable here as a solo woman traveler, and I’d love to come back. I was visiting San Benedetto del Tronto out of season when hotel options were limited, and this turned out to be an excellent pick. It’s a short walk from the train station and right across from the beach. They welcomed me warmly, had my room ready before check-in, and even gave me a free drink on arrival. Deborah and paula at reception were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. My room was bigger than I expected, with a hill view, plenty of storage, and a kitchenette with a table, chairs, and sofa. The spa toiletries were lovely and the shower had good pressure. It’s well placed for walks on the seafront and visits to the port. Breakfast was included, but the vegan options were unfortunately very limited. The atmosphere was great.

The meals were a highlight. We had half board with lunch, and the menu changed every day, with three antipasti, three primi, three secondi, and dessert to choose from. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The beach is our favorite too, with warm, shallow water that’s lovely for relaxing. In summer there’s entertainment for small children, which adds to the family-friendly feel. Staff put a lot of care into the place, and everyone made us feel looked after. We’ve been to Grottammare four times, but this was our first stay at this hotel. We loved the pool, which was calm and clean, and the relaxed atmosphere among staff and guests. Breakfast was delicious. Our one-bedroom suite had loads of space, a well-equipped kitchen, and a big balcony for unwinding at the end of the day. Every staff member was genuinely friendly and ready to help with a smile. They provide pool and beach towels, beach chairs, and an umbrella, which made things easy. Complimentary bike rental is available for up to 4 hours a day, and laundry service costs €4. I didn’t get to try the spa this time, but I certainly will on my next visit. We’ll definitely be back.

The spa treatment was the best massage and exfoliating body treatment I’ve ever had. I also loved how clean everything was, and the whole staff were very friendly. We were in the area for a wedding, in a part of Italy that was new to us, and ended up being pleasantly surprised. The hotel is across the street from the beach, where Enrico helped us get settled in our beach chair. The beachfront bike and walking paths were great for morning exercise. The beds, pillows, and blankets were all comfortable. The breakfast buffet had something for everyone, and the Greek cook was so friendly while making eggs to order. The scrambled eggs were the fluffiest ever. Parking under the hotel was free, though a little tight, and the hotel also had good quality bikes for rides into town. The pool was sparkling clean and big enough to swim laps. I’ll be back, it was a great stay!
