Case Vacanza Marzano

I don't recommend staying here. The room had a strong mold smell, and the wardrobe smelled so bad that it couldn't be used. The bathroom was dirty, the fridge hadn't been cleaned, and its door was broken and wouldn't shut properly. The accommodation conditions were very poor and didn't meet basic hygiene standards.

The location is great and the value for money is okay. The place was mostly clean, but the floors were sandy enough that you could feel and almost taste the sand before heading to the nice nearby beach. Small, inexpensive improvements could be made. The so-called sofa beds are a real problem. They're basically two holes surrounded by hard metal bars, and you hear every movement. One person might manage for a night or two, but two people sleeping on them would be miserable and risk hurting their backs. The walls seem paper-thin too, since you can hear the neighbors above, below, or next door flushing as if the toilets were right there with you. Fine in general if you don't sleep on the sofas. Those back killers need replacing ASAP. Even a new 300€ couch would be 100 times better.

We stayed four days with our kids and loved the spectacular views and peace and quiet. The beach nearby is good, but get there early to claim a spot because it fills up fast. Cocktails at the bar are on the expensive side, though delicious. There were a lot of ants in our sea-facing room, and they bit our sun now. They were in the room and beds. It's not the hotel's fault, but worth knowing, so bring repellent. The staff offered to clean and were kind and very apologetic. Beach clubs nearby also made enough noise that I couldn't sleep with the windows open in the middle of the night. That's down to the surroundings and local nightlife, not the hotel.

We stayed at the beginning of May with our two children. The apartment was very new and lovely, with a stunning sea view. There's a big garden with sunbeds and a sandy beach very close by. An absolutely wonderful place, everything was perfect.
