Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a gem tucked away in the beautiful village of Scopello. The rooms are cozy, and the decor with beautiful blue accents adds a touch of serenity. The terraces, especially the big panoramic one, offer stunning views but could use some more seating. The service was a bit shaky at the beginning as they couldn't find our reservation right away, but housekeeping was top-notch. The location is superb, perched on a hill with lovely views and down a very attractive cobbled street leading to the main village. Dining with amazing views was a delight, especially the homemade sweets. The facilities are satisfactory but could benefit from more variety. Overall, a charming retreat with a few hiccups.
I absolutely loved my stay at this charming hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a big panoramic terrace and a lovely bathroom, offering stunning views. However, the service had a little hiccup at the beginning with our reservation, and the housekeeping was excellent. The location was simply breathtaking, perched on a hill in the heart of the village. The dining experience was top-notch with amazing views and the freshest fish. The facilities were fantastic, meeting all my needs and more.
The hotel is located on a hill with lovely views, offering well-sized rooms with beautiful blue decoration and stunning terraces. The service, although they had trouble finding our reservation at first, was satisfactory. The dining experience with amazing views was delightful, featuring tasty snacks. The hotel facilities were adequate with a nice outdoor restaurant, but there was another more enticing restaurant nearby called The Terrace.
