Bahia

Clean and nice, with access to the beach.

We spent a week here in August and had a great time. The food was delicious, with lots to choose from at breakfast and for appetizers, plus extensive lunch and dinner menus with choices. The hotel faces the sea, a few kilometers from the center, though that stretch was only accessible by bike. I appreciated that bikes were included at no extra charge. The beach is part of the hotel price, through a star concession, and is well equipped. The lifeguard was friendly and helpful. Wi-Fi is included throughout the hotel. An excellent hotel and very good value for money. One of the best hotels in Italy.

The restaurant deserves a special mention: both the buffet and à la carte menu were excellent. We planned to have small portions at each meal but couldn't stick to it. The staff were courteous and helpful, the cuisine was excellent, and the attention to detail and location were superb. We stayed a few days at this beachfront hotel and enjoyed the sea-view terrace, hot tub, and bar service. We were lucky to catch a really enjoyable evening of live music too. The beach in front has both private and public facilities, and we never struggled to find the kind of beach we wanted. If I come back to the area, I'll stay here again.

The setting by the sea is wonderful, though reaching the town center means taking a bus or riding a bike, and there aren't any shops close by. The hotel itself has recently been renovated, with nicely equipped rooms facing the water, only a few dozen meters away. The beach is shared with another well-kept property, and the monitored parking area is also just a short walk away. Breakfast was disappointing: not much choice, no labels on the food, and no allergen details. The restaurant serves different meat and fish dishes, but the quality wasn't good, and allergens weren't listed there either. Water and wine come with the board plan, though the wine was poor and poured from bottles that seemed to be reused and refilled each time.
