Le petit déjeuner copieux et la vue mer.

Pointu · FR · 2026-07-25

Carino ma non troppo.

5.0

La vista è il panorama era incantevole

Struttura troppo distante da Castro marina, impossibile da arrivarci a piedi, data l’assenza di un percorso pedonale , si è costretti ad arrivarci con la macchina, dove ti aspetta un paesino di strisce blu ,quindi ogni giorno bisogna sborsare una tassa al comune per sostare la macchina….Ritornando all’albergo lo consiglierei come un 3stelle e non 4,dallo scarico della nostra doccia ogni sera emanava un fetore di fogna che ti costringeva a tenere azionata la ventola del bagno.(bagno cieco).Nella camera dei miei figli,soggiornavano anche delle formiche.Nota positiva la colazione era buona .

VORREI CHE LA MIA CAMERA DA LETTO AVESSE QUESTA VISTA

L’ampia struttura permette di prenotare anche in giornata. La struttura situata al di sopra della grotta zinzuluse, consente di abbracciare il mare e di goderne il fascino sia che il vostro arrivo sia al tramonto sia al mattino. All’arrivo è presente la reception con staff dedicato per il check-in. La stanza era pulitissima, sopra l’armadio non c’era un filo di polvere, così come all’interno. Il letto era comodissimo e la nostra stanza aveva un meraviglioso balcone, non sul mare, ma NEL mare. Ci eravamo promessi di svegliarci all’alba per godere a pieno della bellezza del panorama. La colazione è stata assortita sia per dolci che salato, prodotti ottimi di prima scelta, caffetteria presente, abbiamo ordinato delle uova strapazzate non presenti nel buffet e sono arrivate in brevissimo tempo. Anche il nostro Labrador Chloe approva!

È consigliabile essere prudenti sia all’ingresso che all’uscita dalla struttura poiché affaccia direttamente sulla strada principale per castro. Il parcheggio è ampio e gratuito, ma dissestato. Al check-in ci hanno chiesto se avessimo comunicato a Booking la presenza del nostro Labrador Chloe e abbiamo confermato di averlo fatto. Il giorno seguente al momento del check out, ci hanno chiesto un supplemento di 20€ del quale non eravamo al corrente. Il supplemento per la presenza del nostro cane e per la pulizia è più che giusto, con prezzo irrisorio, ma avremmo preferito ricevere questa informazione in modo tempestivo al momento del check-in. Inoltre sarebbe opportuno ripristinare il soffitto del bagno, in quanto era presente molta umidità.
