Very lovely little hotel in the heart of old Gallipoli. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean and the hotel is well maintained. Great breakfast as well. Loved this place!

Very friendly, and helpful staff. Check on was easy.
Restaurant is average (maybe due to time of year). But staff was very friendly & attentive.
Water in the room was warm at best, never got hot. Bed was too firm for me unfortunately.
Location is perfect! And the inner court yard and stairs/ hallways are beautiful.

On the night we checked in, we decided to dine in the hotel restauran because it started to rain. Within 10 minutes from sitting down, the rain entered thru the roof and the floor flooded. After 40 minutes of getting drenched we were moved inside. The food took forever to arrive and our friends were served after we finished eating. The food was of poor quality. We were not offered any compensation for getting wet from the rain, the poor quality of food or late service. When we walked to the elevator we found out it stopped working because of the rain. I am handicapped, I walk with a crutch, we had to climb 2 and a half stories. When we entered our room we found it flooded with some of our belongings, those on the floor, soaked. The receptionist came to clear the water, this took about 30-40 minutes (there was no other room available). We asked to speak with the manager/owner, we were told he is busy, he is also the cook of the restaurant. In the morning we insisted to meet the manager/owner who didn't apologize, shouted at us and said that these things happen and it's a force of nature, force majeure. He was angry, didn't want to listen and very unsympathetic. After going back and forth for quite some time, the owner gave each couple 40 euro compensation for the restaurant \"experiennce\", flooded room and the elevator being out of order. My worst hotel experience!

Excellent location and easy parking nearby. No AC in the room but the breeze from the sea minimized the heat. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food at the next door restaurant with the same name was very good. Overall it was a good stay. Very

A good hotel in a charming (but touristy) town.

A nice, classical hotel perfectly situated on the outskirts of the beautiful old town in Gallipoli. Service good, professional. We've stayed here before, and seemingly been upgraded, for which we are all the more grateful, as we have now experienced one of the standard rooms. It had one \"window\" giving onto a a passageway and another one giving onto an almost airless back yard. On the other hand it was big and quiet. Breakfast was quite good for an Italian hotel breakfast.All in all, the stay wasn't exactly inexpensive for what we got, but we still see this as a nice hotel.

Frustrated stay

It was a frustrating stay during the expensive season and it was not worth the price. There is no parking available and you have to park at the port 10 mins away. The hotel looks nice and the rooms are big, but it is dated with the smallest TV in the room. The air conditioner does not work, so in the middle of summer we were sweating in bed with no covers on. I became even more frustrated when I reserved a sea view room and they displayed a room with a balcony on the site, instead we got a room with a couple of windows with a difficult to see view. I included pictures with the review. The hotel is located in a historic center is very nice with great restaurants with walking distance to the local beach.

Pleasant hotel staff.

The hotel and staff were great. The downstairs room was a bit noisy with cars and Vespas. Gallipoli is very touristy and crowded. We left during the day to visit smaller, less touristy nearby villages.

Room and board, at best

we have been traveling Europe for the past two months, in Italy now for nearly three weeks. Although The staff was friendly and the food in the general area was perhaps some of the best seafood I've had in my life. I would never rate this hotel above a three. I feel bad about leaving such a bad review but, from the plastic cups to the linens to the curtains and the shower there was nothing in the hotel that was quality. Even the free breakfast was disappointing.
I will admit though, not knowing what I was getting into we were at the hotel for five nights and in the end it did leave it's charm on us wherein we were almost sorry to say goodby to (what we referred to as) prison cell block H.

Nice Hotel

The hotel is great and has a lovely feel to it. There is also a fantastic seafood restaurant that offers a 10% discount if you're staying in the hotel. The room was very clean, however we were given a room at the back with a very small window at high level so there was very little natural light. The air conditioning is none existent and our room was really warm and we found it difficult to sleep. We told the staff and they offered us a fan which helped slightly. Overall was a great hotel in a fantastic location in Gallipoli.

Nice hotel close to shops.

Hotel was good. Shopping fabulous. Disappointed with restaurants everyone had the same \"tourist menu\" very expensive and no choice UNLESS you liked raw fish, fried fish, shellfish, big fish, little fish, squid, oysters etc etc - pasta choices were negligible only orecchiette with sauce or chima de rape. The meat available was grey and non specific.

Just on the heart of Gallipoli in front Ocean

This hotel has a great location very nice I definitely recommend it if you want to be in \"Gallipoli\" just walking distance to the historical center in front of the Ocean .
The first night my air conditioning was broken but the first thing next morning date upgrade me to a beautiful ocean view with great condition and it is was very nice !!!
Breakfast was excellent incredible could sit in overlooking the ocean with the buffet breakfast .
I was recommended a tour to the beach which was outstanding very nice transportation and nice little place with chairs and umbrellas transportation back-and-forth to the hotel

Seafood surprise

The hotel is very nice though it was a surprise to discover that my room had no window, except a skylight high above my head. I would have appreciated knowing that before booking. Also I was very very ill in the night after eating seafood in the restaurant, which spoiled my enjoyment somewhat....

Gammalt kloster.

Otroligt vackert hotel, enligt personalen ett gammalt kloster, i den gamla delen av Gallipoli! Stort härligt rum, dock utan den franska balkong som syns på Bookings sida, och som vi trodde vi skulle få. Fin utsikt över hamnen ändå! Obeskrivlig innergård med trappor på kors och tvärs, måste upplevas! Mycket fint! (Hiss finns)Stor frukost, kaffe lagas på beställning, kalla drycker, ägg mm. Hotellet ligger perfekt med Gallipolis vindlande gränder om hörnet nära till restauranger och barer, hjälpsam personal. Ett fint hotel rekommenderas!
