Rif. B16 - MEDITERRANEO

They were very rude to foreigners.

The staff were friendly and very polite, and the restrooms were really clean. The resort is huge for this area, with about 160 umbrellas and a little over 55 private cabanas. There are shared changing rooms and bathrooms, cold showers and foot baths, plus hot showers. For 2018, they had an inflatable trampoline in the sea for little ones, along with pedal boats, canoes and paddleboards. The sea here often has big rocks and small stones, though you can find sandy patches too. Umbrella spacing is about average. The umbrellas are fixed and don't recline, and each has a little table and an ashtray that doubles as a mini bin. A few veranda tables have a slightly different, oriental look.

Our studio was small but comfortable, with a one-of-a-kind view straight over the beach. The residence is right by the sea, and the beach itself is beautiful, with much more room between umbrellas than usual. The stay included an umbrella and deckchairs, while the bathroom facilities, shower and table football were free. If we come back to San Vincenzo, we'll stay here again.

I came up from the public beach and stopped to check my phone for somewhere to have lunch. I was only trying to find a bit of shade for my daughter, without taking a table or getting in anyone's way. In under five minutes they told me to leave because it was private. They could have helped me arrange a meal, but instead they sent me away. Rude. I hope they're closed tomorrow and the municipality takes back their concession. They're even restricting access to the shoreline.
