Gabbiano Azzurro Hotel & Suites

Incredible property in an incredible setting. Stayed here on one leg of our honeymoon, upon telling Claudia at recpetion, she upgraded us to a junior suite. Let us check in early, and prior to our room being ready gave us towels for us to use the pool and all their facilities as we waited. Upon checking in to our room our bags were brought up to our room already and prosecco waiting on ice. These are small details but really set the hotel apart form others- great 5 star service. (Claudia at recpetion was extremly attentive, nice and overly accommodating for the duration of our stay- 5/5 service from her.) Property is clean and directly on the beach- access to private beach and chairs (for a fee). Beach is clean and private area is quiet and not over crowded- beach bar at hotel within walking distance. Food at restaurant is good- can be pricey, especially for lunch portions- but quality was very good. Hotel is within walking distance to shops, supermarket and a number of quality restaurants. 15 minute walk direclty to main Golfo Aranci pier. Overall enjoyable stay and great property- would come back.

Nice hotel that sits beautifully on the beach. Stunning view of the Gulf of Aranci. Friendly and speedy front desk service. Beautiful lobby and bar area. We had booked a “Classic Quadruple Room” for the four of us and received a tiny room on the 2nd floor facing the street, stuffed with a queen-size and a bunk bed. There was literally no room left to put and open a suitcase (other than on the bed). It didn’t look like a room designed for 4 people but rather than a standard room in which they managed to cram a bunk bed. The bunk bed had a broken rail so had to put the upper mattress on the floor to be on the safe side. We didn’t complain at the front desk but I think that as a guest, you shouldn’t have to explain that family doesn’t like a totally cramped room. And when they prepare a room like that with little care, it tells you a lot about the attitude of the hotel operator towards guests and customers. At least the room was clean and quiet. On the hotel premise, there is a nice saltwater pool facing the seaside. The pool is however unheated and quite cold at this time of the year. You can have bar service at the pool but you need to call the bartender. The pool must not be used during pm times per hotel policy which is really absurd. WiFi is spotty, slow and basically useless. Breakfast buffet was ok but not great, waiters don’t care to collect empty plates on the table.
