Francavilla al Mare Hotels

Nice location not far from the sea side. Opportunity to have a nice walk close to the beach. Breakfast can be improved (no scrambled eggs and very limited choices of cheese, ham). The wellness center was under maintenance with a very strange message. It read "please stay tuned, information on re-opening the wellness center will come soon", which for somebody who does not plan to go there soon again sounds strange and somehow useless. No price reduction because of this service not available. Internet connection free of charge but extremely slow. No bathtuub in the bathroom and shower coming only from the top. In general I had the perception that "saving" money was one of the drivers in running this hotel

My wife took a terrible fall in this hotel because she was leaning on the back wall of the elevator and the elevator door opened from the opposite side. There was no sihn indicating elevator door opened from the rear once you left the lobby

I had the impression from the site that the hotel overlooked the beach, that isn't the case.

Very good clean room with drinks facilities.Friendly helpful staff.Impressive breakfast. Noise. We only stayed one night not five as booked. Trains in particular made it very noisy despite claims of soundproofing - extra layer needed at least to be effective.

Good position for beach and shops. Comfortable rooms with a good seaview but not loads of space. Friendly staff Needed to ask for extra pillows.Surprised to find no wine list in the main restaurant.

Location & personnel Limited breakfast & parking

Welcoming staff who were keen to help. Room was spotless and had a nice view out to sea. Like most Italian seaside hotels in July/August this was good , but overpriced!!

The hotel is comfortable, the decorating/interieur is fine, good bathroom, very fine linnen, food was good, nice employees. Most employees in the dining-area speak only Italian.

Lovely food at dinner, friendly service from reception, bar and dining room staff, very clean room, hotel right on beach Breakfast choice a bit boring an occasional musical evening would be a good idea

Very kind staff; breakfast includes all that's required for a good start in the morning; beach towels available at the front desk upon request; air conditioner in rooms (very valuable item in summer); 24hrs open; car parking lot right next to the hotel separated from the main road and partly roofed over; all in all very suited for people of any age but particularly ideal for young people and families. Despite generous bathroom size, the showers are really small & toilet seat at a friend's room was slightly yellowed and should have been replaced with the new one; car parking lot often full by the evening but free parking space also available directly outside of the hotel area.

The best thing was that the hotel was right on the beach. Having to pay for sunloungers, I think they should be included in the price.Also only having a set menu for dinner. No choice!

The food was not good

very near the sea. Balcony with seaview showerhead was great but cabine should have been a touch bigger

Road nearness

This was just an overnight stay after getting off a ferry from Croatia. Very clean and convenient. Good to have fast wireless internet access in the reception area - though it didn't work on all our gadgets. The night porter did not speak any language other than Italian - but was very friendly and helpful and we somehow understood each other.

I most enjoyed the very central location of the hotel. The breakfast served by the hotel was especially good. The elevator had broken down and was under repair. This meant climbing stairs with luggage in tow.

Really good breakfast (both italian and international), great location (not far from a free beach and from several good shops), welcome biscuits and cleanliness of the room The park was full!!! (Not surprising as there are about 7 parks available for the whole hotel) even if it was included in the price. One receptionist was completely unhelpful and told me: "Sorry but you chose the bad day". Never heard that before, neither in a two stars hotel! More likely the hotel was bad! Room very small for a four stars hotel

Better qualety of food and juice

The hotel was comfortable and in a good location. Lack of understanding of English language and lack of teamaking facility, no english tea or milk provided.

Location by the Beach and nice Breakfast Staff very unobliging as to extending our stay for the same price. One said yes but ask the Manager and the older man said no so we left. Hotel wasnt even full at the time.Also not a 4 star hotel as advertised.

Nice location and beautiful see view from the room; kind staff and good breakfast the wireless signal was poor in the room and no connection was possible in the room

We only stayed there as a stopover but location to the beach and restaurants was great.

The personnel of the hotel was extremely nice and polite, willing to meet any need, any inquiry of the guest. I was very pleased with the way they treat all the guest. The breakfasts are rich with food for all types of preferences. The rooms looking to the beach side are quite noisy (the auto-road and the bars with discoteques make a lot noise), but the Management of the Hotel gave me another room as soon as I asked about it. The hotel is actually something between 3 and 4 stars level, but the price was more than fair taking into account the location and that the beach chaiselong with umbrella are included to the price so I was satisfied and I would recommend it to my friends.
