Great Vacation in Gatteo a Mare
The workers could NOT have been any more helpful and friendly! We do not speak Italian, and they all made a strong effort to speak English- and in a very friendly manner. Beach towels no problem Parking no problem. 7 day stay "no problem"! I would go again in a heart beat!

Ikke en imponerende oplevelse
Havde forventet bedre mad og wellness-område (det er meget skrabet, man får andet indtryk af billederne) f.eks. kun en kan masseres ad gangen.
Maden var desværre ikke som forventet

In generale ci siamo trovati molto bene. Pulizia buona, ma la nostra camera era troppo a moda vecchia. Muri mal tenuti, tv che non funzionava, prese scarse e traballanti, bagno piccolo, senza prese e mobiletto vecchio. Da rinnovare parecchio tutta la stanza.

Es war alles super. Wir hatten als Familie die living-suite. Diese war ganz neu und sehr schön. Aber in der Küche gab es kein Geschirr und keine Gläser. Man muss dort wirklich nicht kochen, man kann gut und günstig essen. Aber Gläser und Besteck und ein paar Teller sollten schon enthalten sein. Kostenlos… wir hatten dann im Nachhinein die küchenausstattung dazu gebucht.

La habitación que reservé no se parecía en nada a la que recibí, la nevera no funcionaba, el aire acondicionado tampoco, las paredes tenían un papel pegado que estaba todo roto, viejo y feo. Salías de la habitación y parecía que estabas en otro hotel, todo el salón súper bonito y el desayuno genial, pero luego en la habitación fatal todo.
