They make check-in seamless using email and WhatsApp for bag pickup and directions to the lobby. The property is a stunning historic building right on the water, with incredible views from the pool and bar area overlooking the sea. Our room was located closer to the castle. . It was absolutely gorgeous, with the most comfortable bed we've experienced. After over a week in Italy and five different hotels on this trip, this was by far the best sleep we've had. Mr & Mrs Smith hotels never disappoint. If unaware, you can find these using Hyatt. The breakfast was outstanding, served with breathtaking sea views. You can also enjoy it in the atmospheric old rock-walled lower level. Now, let's talk about the shower -- yes, the shower. It's easily one of the coolest I've ever seen. The first knob activates side misters that fill the space with hot steam. There's a built-in bench where you can sit and enjoy the mist. Turn the second knob and you get a beautiful waterfall cascading from overhead while seated. Stand up and under the full rain-style shower. And if that's not enough, there's also a handheld wand. Absolute luxury! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. We loved every minute here and were genuinely sad we could only stay one night

Parts of the facilities are in caves adding even more charm. We arrived just after high season and seem to have the place and town to ourselves. During high season , if you're driving here, you must call in advance and give them your license plate number. The old town has narrowed streets (lanes really)with lots of pedestrians. And only locals can regularly drive here. And , the streets are closed about 6:30pm to all vehicles. This allows lots of walking through the enjoyable old town. Service and staff very friendly and helpful.

I contacted the hotel and asked if they could hive me a credit to use within 6-12 mos when they have availability. They said they could only give me a 30% discount on a future booking and kept the entire amount. I get it, they are not doing anything not within their right but it did seem like a bad business decision. Funny thing is i was joining my wife who is a wedding planner from nyc who was scouting hotels for a clients wedding. I hope they enjoy the 1300 euros, they are cut from the list of 200 people coming to town.
