De badkamer is wat aan de kleine kant, kan voor sommigen misschien een probleem zijn. Wandelafstand naar oude stad. Wij hadden wat moeilijkheden met het vinden van de ingang maar na even wachten en contact kwam Valeria ten hulp met de sleutel! Wij raden het zeker aan.

Top Gelso Hotel Reviews

Antico Mondo Rooms & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Property was clean and as it was in the pictures. Very cozy and clean with all the amenities needed. The terrace absolutely amazing to enjoy sunsets. Definitely would recommend and will come back. Place has has perfect location near the historic center. Emio and Giuseppe were so helpful and kind during our stay."

Palazzo Indelli

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, friendly and knowledgeable check in & check out experience. We pre ordered car park and the clear instructions received in advance meant we had smooth parking. The property is well located to all the main attractions. Breakfast was very efficient with good quality coffee. Thank you for a great stay Grazie Mille"

Granserena Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely and really well kept. Daily cleaning was excellent. The pools were lovely, the lifeguards were very whistle happy thought! The thing I really need to flag is the lower/upper inclusive plans. We were lower (although don't recall deciding this when booking) which meant we didn't get a reserved table for dinner. We were just sat outside in unreserved tables, which was ok when there was an available table for us... Sometimes there would be and if we were lucky it would be cleaned and if we were lucky broken glass would be cleaned up. When it came to meals, lower inclusive were basically not cared about."

Corte Altavilla Relais & Charme

8/10 Good

"This hotel was gorgeous and charming. However, be aware that if you are taking an uber to the area, this hotel is in the old part of the town and the Uber will not be able to drop you off directly at the hotel (you will have to do a maybe 5 minute walk from the main streets). The roads around the hotel are also cobblestone so keep that in mind when packing to stay at this hotel. All in all a gorgeous area and experience if you know what to expect. Amazing people and great food located close in the area."
