"This hotel had been on my bucket list for years. I’d seen it countless times on Instagram and always thought, “One day, we’ll go.” So when we finally booked our four-night stay, I honestly couldn’t wait to see if it lived up to the pictures — and, aesthetically, it absolutely did!
One of the first things we loved was the location. Just around 15 minutes from the airport, it couldn’t have been more convenient, especially for a short stay. From the moment we arrived, the whole property was incredibly beautiful and thoughtfully designed. It’s one of those places that instantly puts you in holiday mode. The warm towels and glass of Prosecco on arrival were such a lovely touch, and we were taken to our room almost immediately.
We stayed in a Deluxe Swim-Out Suite, and it was everything we had hoped for. Beautiful, spacious and incredibly comfortable, with everything you could possibly need. Having our own swim-out area made the stay feel even more special and was definitely one of the highlights for us.
We booked bed and breakfast, and because we were only staying for four nights, we planned to have dinner at the hotel every evening. This is where we did have a couple of disappointments. We hadn’t realised there was only one restaurant and one main menu, which is completely on us for not checking beforehand. Initially, we didn’t think it would be an issue for such a short stay, but unfortunately our first dinner was a real let-down.
We ordered a medium-rare steak and it arrived well done, which was particularly surprising for a five-star hotel. The following evening we opted for chicken, but unfortunately it was so dry that it was practically inedible. I’d like to think we were simply unlucky with our choices, because everything else about our experience was so lovely.
What really stood out, though, was how the hotel handled the situation. Stefano, the manager, went above and beyond to make things right, and we genuinely appreciated how much care and attention he gave us afterwards. That kind of service makes a difference.
The staff throughout the hotel were absolutely wonderful — so warm, friendly and welcoming. A special mention has to go to both Cristinas, who were just lovely and made us feel so welcome during our stay. ❤️
Another huge bonus was the option of a late check-out. We had a late flight home, so being able to enjoy the hotel for longer rather than rushing off with our suitcases was honestly the perfect way to finish the trip.
Despite a couple of dining disappointments, we left feeling incredibly happy that we had finally made it here. We’ve made some genuinely beautiful memories at D’Andrea, and the hotel itself is every bit as gorgeous as I had imagined from all those Instagram pictures.
Thank you, D’Andrea, for finally making one of my bucket-list dreams a reality. We’ll definitely remember this trip. 🤍"
