We had a wonderful time at Grand Hotel Spiaggia. Traveling for business, we booked this hotel off…read moreseason and got a room facing the ocean with a balcony for a good price. What a treat. We spent our evenings on that balcony listening to the ocean and since it was off season, the traffic was calm. Our room had plenty of space, was clean and the bathrooms updated. In usual Italian style, there are no washcloths provided by the establishment but all the usual items like shampoo,etc., were there. Breakfast is the common European cereals, breads, yogurt and fruits plus a few other treats, and was included with our room. The common areas of the hotel were comfortable and service was good. We took a walk up to the next town along the oceanfront pathway which is very cute and 'beach vacation' like, with kids playing in the sand and shops selling hats, sunscreen and towels. There is also a nice train station there in walking distance to the hotel. We had hoped to get back to Grand Hotel Spiaggia again before we leave Europe, but unfortunately were not able to make that happen. Maybe another time on another trip. In the meantime, we have our memories.
