Residence Archimede

It was beautiful and intimate, and exceeded our expectations. The pool was wonderful, breakfast was really good, and a small beach is just a five-minute walk away. We’ll definitely come back.

The complex sits in a beautiful, quiet, peaceful area, but it’s remote, with no shops or conveniences nearby. Without your own transport, finding food or drinks is nearly impossible. The restaurant was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. Service was extremely disappointing: the staff were unprofessional and at times seemed to pretend they couldn’t speak English. The food was poor too. The pasta was undercooked, they didn’t take dietary concerns like allergies into account, and the pork dish was bland and badly prepared. There were hygiene problems as well. Ants were on the tables, and the coffee machine was visibly infested, which was very concerning. The peaceful setting is lovely, but the restaurant and lack of access to basic amenities make the complex hard to recommend.

Breakfast was the biggest letdown during my stay. There was barely anything to choose from, and what was there wasn't good quality. It seemed nobody was checking whether guests had enough to eat. I paid expecting better, but I came away hungry and annoyed each morning. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone who cares about having a decent breakfast.

The birthday was ruined by a string of things being forgotten. We'd booked a cake with the pizza, but they didn't bring it. They apologized and offered ice cream, then asked if we wanted a bitter liqueur. We said yes, only to be charged for it at the end. Earlier, the aperitif we'd paid for was due at 6, but arrived around 7, and we had to get out of the pool while they cleaned it. We were there with friends and paid €40 each for the afternoon pool, aperitif, and pizza round.
