family wedding
wedding visit to italy, hotel tidy clean food a little disappointing, also almost all staff could not speak any english, maybe because they dont seem to get any visitors from the uk, other than that quite friendly so overall nice stay.
Verified traveler
wonderful hotel, perfect for pool, sea, and rest. it is a bit removed from any decent town, but wonderful as a stop between other areas of the region
Gerald
Great pool, great room, great service.
The high point was the giant swimming pool, which we found more than tolerable in spite of the early date (mid-May) to the shock of the staff! The only small disappointment was to not have any fresh bread for breakfast our first morning, but it was more than made up for when the clerk offered to share her birthday sweet pastries with us. Thank you Jessica!
Pasquale
hotel was magnificent in beauty and cleanliness. It is in a great location on right on the water. We were there off season so breakfast left a lot to be b=desired. All starch. No hot meals and no restaurant service. Staff speaks little to no English so this could be problem especially if you need help.

Luxurious, Clean, Great Staff, Great Pool,5 Stars
I cant add anything to the pictures already posted, the Grand Hotel Balestrieri is a Five Star Hotel is every way. I has an immaculate lobby, pool area, garden area, each room has a private balcony overlooking the Sea and the pool area. The receptionist, Gessica was more than professional, she works hard to ensure your stay is a great one and mine sure was. What a place to stay. I was coming from Sicily driving toward the Adriatic Coast of Italy and needed a stop before the long drive and this place surely fit my needs. If you too are driving around Italy be sure to make this a place to stop and enjot the luxury of the Hotel and the outstanding pool area this hotel offers.

it was already off season so breakfast had no protein offered, but great coffee selection. Dining room wasn't open, so needed to go out for dinner.
Personnel was friendly, helpful and polite.

Rekommenderar inte
Hotellet är smutsigt både i rummen och på allmänna ytor. Frukosten serverades i en matsal utan AC då utomhustemperaturen låg på 37 grader. Otrevlig personal. Vi debiterades en stor summa pengar för mycket som personalen lovade att vi skulle få tillbaka, men inte har fått. Underhållning som tillhandahålls av personal där de själva sjöng karaoke till sent på natten. Rekommenderar verkligen inte detta hotell.

Buono e rapidi servizi

La sovrapposizione di eventi crea un po’ di rumorosità rispetto alla media ma sopportabile.

Hotell rom, uteområde, service og mat
Flott hotell. Veldig fint og reint rom, flott balkong. Flott basseng og badestrand. Veldig dårlig luft i spiselokalene. Dårlig frokost, nesten bare kaker. Lunsj og middag var av dårlig kvalitet, vi spiste på nabohotellet. Forferdelig høy musikk hele dagen. Smilende resepsjonister, men de kunne ikke engelsk, vi brukte Google translate.

Отель хорошо расположен, очень продуманно построен корпус (все номера с видом на бассейн и море), прекрасный пляж, все красиво...но. В инфо об отеле указывалось,что возможно проведение специальных мероприятий (свадьбы и т.д.). Из наших 7 ночей ни разу не было перерыва - одни мероприятия, начинающиеся в 22-23 часа и заканчивающиеся в 2-3 ночи. Еще больше напрягала дискотека и караоке: каждый вечер, очень громко и , видимо, до последнего человека (23-23.30). Совершенно не понравились завтраки и их обслуживание (столики не убраны с вечера, приборов не хватает, так же и еды). Ужинали 2 раза в ресторане и были очень разочарованы.

Mi è piaciuta la struttura, i servizi, il personale tutto davvero gentile e disponibile, il mare su cui affaccia, la cucina, solo purtroppo la zona un po' depressa, ma non è associabile ai meriti dell'hotel

Superbe hôtel avec belle grande piscine et plage. La chambre est bien décorée et le matelas confortable. Je retournerais à cet hôtel sans hésiter. Nous avions la chambre 233, face à la mer.

Sehr freundliches Personal, egal ob an der Rezeption, Kellner oder Putzfrau. Direkt am Strand mit sehr guten Sonnenliegen. Unaufdringliche Animation am Strand. Rundum genau das richtige um ein paar Tage zu entspannen. Mietwagen empfehlenswert.

eignet sich gut für einen Stop
großes Hotel verkehrsgünstig gelegen, gut für einen Stop, Dank der Anordnung der Zimmer zum Innenhof mit Garten schön ruhig (Vorsaison, Hotel wenig belegt), sehr geräumiges Zimmer mit guter Ausstattung, moderner leiser Klimaanlage. Die Mitarbeiterin an der Rezeption wirkte bei der Ankunft spät abends etwas lustlos, WiFi Code wurde nicht mitgeteilt, aber bei 1 Nacht zu verkraften... Frühstück war von allem etwas da, aber gefühlt eher Durchschnitt

Hotel 4 stelle da sogno
Ottimo Hotel.Camere spaziose con armadi capienti, bellissimo il bagno con una grande doccia,ottimo servizio di pulizia. Personale gentile e disponibile,sempre pronto x qualsiasi richiesta.Molto eleganti gli arredi anche nelle parti comuni. Piscina spettacolare, mare pulito e spiaggia ben servita con un bar presente sulla spiaggia.E' la seconda volta che soggiorno all' Hotel Balestrieri e mi sono trovata veramente bene. Ottimo il servizio ristorante con abbondante colazione e molto vario il cibo a pranzo e cena.

Uitstekend hotel
Geweldig verblijf. Prijs kwaliteit zeer goed.

Sehr ansprechende Hotelanlage
Positiv ist festzuhalten, dass die Hotelanlage äußerst gepflegt ist, sehr einladend mit direktem Zugang zum Strand. Tolles Ambiente, hatten ein schönes Zimmer mit direktem Blick auf das Meer. Pool war bereits gefüllt. Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Negativ erwähnen muss ich leider das äußerst bescheidene Frühstück, wenn man es überhaupt als solches bezeichnen kann. Ein absolutes No-Go, lässt sich auch nicht damit entschuldigen, dass wir die einzigen Gäste waren. Noch keine Sonnenliegen aufgestellt, wohl auch
noch nicht auf Urlaubsgäste eingestellt.
Diese Kritik geht auch an ihr Portal, die mit keiner Silbe erwähnt, dass saisonbedingt der Hund begraben ist, diese eigentlich Ende April beginnt und viele Einrichtungen noch gar nicht genutzt werden können, z.B. Restaurant, Strand

Badhotell
Utan bil får man lov att äta på hotellet eller något närliggande hotell. Under september-oktober är det mesta stängt, även hotellets restaurang. Frukosten var den minsta och tråkigaste jag har stött på i Italien trots att det är ett lyxhotell.

En natt i Torre Melissa
Anlände vid 17-tiden på genomresa. effektivt mottagande, snabbt på ett mkt bra rum med balkong mot hav och poolområde. Buffemiddag OK. Trevlig strand och fräscht poolområde. Tyvärr alldeles för bullrigt med tv-sport och musik
under kvällen. Frukost OK.

Tolles Hotel in Strandnähe mit Komfort.
Das Hotel ist mindestens 4 Sterne Wert, alles sehr sauber, das Personal angefangen von Zimmermädchen bis zur Geschäftsleitung sehr freundlich. Zimmer sehr sauber mit Meerblick. Zur Privater Strand dauert es genau 2 Minuten.
Reichlich Sonnenschirme mit Liegen vorhanden, und das beste ist, man bekommt jeden Tag friesche Badetücher für den Strand und das ganze alles inklusive. Frühstücksbüffett und Swimmingpool ein Traum.
Der Aufenthalt war wirklich Toll.
