What a unique property! We loved the character of the palace. The decor was really cool. The staff was excellent, great food and cocktails. I enjoyed the Vespar in the bar. Much better to stay here than in or closer to Porto Fino.

This hotel is a beautiful property. The lobby was 5 Star with beautiful original paintings. The outdoor pool and hot tub provided a great view of the harbor. Unfortunately, the pool area closed at 6:00 pm. I was very disappointed after returning from a long day of walking and was looking forward to a soak befor dinner.

Fantastic hotel, service top notch. Breakfast buffet included very good. Only 2 negatives, too many Americans (including ourselves) and the driveway up to the hotel is very steep and if you wish to walk to town it’s a good climb (easy once at bottom of property. They should golf cart guests up and down but most will just taxi

The reason I gave the hotel 4 stars is because on more than one occasion our bath towels were stained. That should not be an issue at a 5 star hotel. The service was excellent as well as the staff. If I could do 41/2 stars I would.

We loved this hotel so much. The beach club area was perfection. I wish we could’ve stayed longer. The service in every area of the hotel was excellent and welcoming. The food at the restaurant was delicious and again the service superb. We particularly loved our waiter Daniel. Breakfast was also delicious with lots of options and great coffee. Yes we would absolutely stay here again. Thank you so much
