Hotel Sole

Alles war super bis auf die zu kleine Dusche.

I cannot recommend this hotel. The DAYTIME front desk people were very nice and friendly. The "triple room" was really a room built for a double bed at best with three beds, a huge wardrobe and a desk in it. There was no room to walk - not even really stand. The A/C was a joke. The room was sweltering. When we asked the night desk clerk about it, he sent someone up who said that the A/C for the entire hotel was not functioning. This was CLEARLY not the case because it was cool to the point of being chilly in the lobby and even the hallways were cool. When I tried to point that out, he shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It is Italy." Not helpful. The other problem we had was with the beach area. Part of this is my fault since I don't speak Italian. We did not get directions on what to do when we arrived as far as getting an umbrella, etc. We waited and looked for someone for about 30 minutes. Finally asked the lifeguard. He pointed out the workers. They were very young. I showed him the ticket we had been given at the front desk. He scoffed and told me that it was only for the pool. He basically threw it back in my face and said it was not for the beach. Turns out the front desk clerk had not given us every ticket we needed. So if you do choose to stay here, make sure they clearly explain to you what you need to do and where you need to go. No beach view as there is new construction in front of the ocean, so the picture does not show reality.

Hotel was great and very nice staff. You need a swimming cap to use the pool which is over the road on the beach. The young attendant is friendly but the older one with shaven head is a real jobsworth, He won't allow you to swim unless you have a swimming cap and says they don't have any so most people go away, the trick is to stay a while and he miraculously finds one after half an hour or so! I saw it happen several times. The children liked the foldaway bunkbeds. The pizzeria opposite was very popular also
