I had a great experience at this hotel, primarily due to the breathtaking views and the luxurious suite with a private pool that made for a remarkable stay. The staff was incredibly helpful and created a welcoming atmosphere. However, the accessibility can be an issue for those with mobility challenges due to the steep hill leading up to the reception. Overall, I think it's a place I'd love to return to.

Our stay at the hotel was quite memorable, marked by stunning views of Mirabello Bay and a lovely private pool in our room, which made celebrating my birthday extra special. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, and we enjoyed the spa treatments. However, the dining experience was somewhat hit or miss, with some repetitiveness in food offerings and occasional wait times in the restaurant. Overall, it's a great place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, but the dining could have been more varied.
