We spent a week there. The place is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and very clean. The food for breakfast is limited: 4 muffins, 2 cookies, and occasionally a tart upon request; frozen gluten-free brioche. For lunch and dinner, almost everything is similar to the gluten menu. The waiters in the dining room are very attentive to fulfilling your wishes (e.g., there were gluten bruschetta and gluten-free ones; we requested them, and they prepared it for us). A downside, as always, is that the dessert is almost always pre-packaged. It's a shame because gluten-free desserts are good and easy to prepare—like a simple tart or chocolate cake that is also missing at breakfast.

I stayed at this hotel last weekend for the People event, which has been held for years in the city of Scalea. I was welcomed by very friendly staff at the reception who were completely at my disposal for any needs, with a 24-hour reception. For the event, there was a shuttle service available 24/7 that went every 15 minutes to and from the hotel, which is just 5 minutes away from the event. We opted for a full board service to have all meals available, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the cuisine, starting from a rich breakfast, both sweet and savory, to lunch and dinner. There is always the option of meat, fish, or even gluten-free and lactose-free dishes. Desserts are also provided at the end of lunch and dinner. They offered many well-prepared side dishes. The staff in the dining area were very kind and helpful. The rooms are spacious and clean. The exterior of the hotel is also very beautiful and comfortable. There are various areas to relax on sofas or armchairs, and by the pool with loungers available. I will definitely return to stay at this facility and recommend it for family trips, couples, groups of friends, or even for work. Breathtaking views from the first to the third floor. The structure has a large private parking area.
