Hotel La Bussola

"The hotel and staff were both lovely, it's a very peaceful location with beautiful scenery whilst being quite close to the beach. The walk to the free beach was only around 10 minutes, the entrance to it was near the restaurant "Osteria Sul Mare" as other entrances are paid. The beach was very lovely and the water actually got warmer at night. The continental breakfast buffet was very delicious - a lot of options with yummy croissants. It can fill you up for most of the day, I only needed a snack at lunch. At breakfast they offer juice and water, and you can order coffee with no additional charge. The dinner offered at the hotel is €20 and includes four courses, a salad bar and the menu changes daily. I think it is not only great value for money but also very delicious. The Hor Dourves only had one option but all the other courses had 3-4 options to choose from. The pool is clean and a good size and gets a lot of sun in the middle of the day so is quite warm, in the afternoon it's a bit chillier as the trees mean it doesn't get as much sun but it's still nice to swim in once you warm up. For transport, there are a few bus links directly to the main town but we took taxis to the station - if you ask the hotel staff they will book your taxis for you which makes it very simple. There are free bikes to take from the hotel, just ensure the breaks are good and the bike tires are pumped up. We took the bikes to the beach, to the local CONAD and three of us biked to the main town to see the cathedral. The town is up a small incline so it is a lot easier to bike down than up."

"I came to the hotel with 4 racing cyclists who competed in Trofeo Buffoni, we need a place for bikes, good accommodation and good food. Matteo and his team could not have been better hosts and went out of thier way to help us on so many occasions. Surprised some reviews say the food was disappointing, we found it to be very good particularly the lasagne on Sunday night. The staff were very polite and most friendly. We will be certain to return here in 2022."

"We stayed here as a couple with our Mom’s. I’ve been to various hotels in Italy and have to say that this place is really value for money. The staff is super friendly, rooms are clean and the breakfast is also absolutely ok. We enjoyed staying here and would certainly come back."
