Fantastic place. Very dog friendly - even left us a welcome pack for our dog. Great private beach with chairs and umbrellas and paddleboards and kayaks whenever you please. Very clean rooms, very spacious and great views. Unless you’re really into fancy furniture, don’t let the reviews about outdates interiors bother you. The grounds are peaceful and beautiful and there is also a wild beach a bit to the left which has even better access for dogs to go into the water. But dogs are welcome also at the main private beach of the residence. Marina Marciana is a nice 20 min walk away and there is a less frequented road for a more peaceful walk.

The separation of balconies or terraces between neighbors could provide a bit more privacy.

Beautiful accommodation with a private beach, canoes and sups to enjoy freely, without booking or scheduling (very much appreciated by our teenage kids). The path to the public beach behind the corner via the rocks looks scary but well-maintained and is much safer than it looks. Our 3 kids loved foldable murphy beds (double bed + bunkbeds) in the living room, which gave us the whole bedroom to ourselves. There was a double bed in the bedroom as well, which might be handy with younger kids, but we were happy to sleep without our kids in the same room. There is a special room with a fridge/shower and some other facilities which could be used on the day of departure after checking out from the apartment. It was very nice to be able to go for a swim and relax a bit before getting back on the road without being rushed to leave.

The stunning view from our spacious terrace, the private beachfront with kayaks and the well-cared for terraced garden. The staff are friendly and available when needed. Marciana Marina, which is truly a picturesque little town, is fairly close by.

slightly dated kitchen and bathroom

A view to die for. The property has been carefully groomed for years and all the spots that look out into the sea are breathtaking. A short car ride into town - don't even think about walking - puts you into restaurants and bars and then you can explore the rest of the island. The owner is friendly and ready to share a laugh or a drink.

The bed wasn't the most comfortable. Wish we had been their during the summer to enjoy the boats and some swimming. We hope to return.

The private beach and the view!

The bath room is really outdated, it needs a major  renovation just like the beds….also the dogs from the another residences were quite annoying.

The location is absolutely gorgeous if you prefer swimming from cliffs instead of sand beaches. The hotel has a private rocky beach (not suitable for those who cannot swim, since the water is deep or for those those who have walking problems, since there is a steep path down to the water). It will never get too crowdy so you will be able to have your own private spot. The use of chairs, umbrella, kajaks and sups are included in the hotel prize. There is also a shower beside the water which we appreciated. We never felt we had to explore other beaches on our stay (which is rare for us). The rooms were good and we specially enjoyed the cocking possibilities, the fridge, the air condition and the private balcony with the stunning view.

Maybe we missed a bar with cold drinks, but since the room had a fridge it wasn't a big problem, we just saved money:)

This was the most incredible stay! Stunning location, amazing private beach and terrace with the room. The rooms are no frills but comfortable (AC, basic kitchen). The host was extremely easy to get in touch with via WhatsApp, and very helpful. The grounds are beautiful and the beach area had everything you could need (bathroom, chairs, umbrellas, kayaks, paddleboards, perfect water). Marciana Marina was charming, and we walked there for a delicious dinner at a restaurant recommended by the hotel. It is a 25 min (beautiful but hilly) walk to town and no cafe nearby, so definitely pick up some basics to have at the hotel. Nothing better than a glass of wine on the terrace, watching the sun set. There is a bus stop nearby but we learned later that a taxi from Portoferrario would not have been expensive and much more direct, so I would recommend that if you do not have a car (though we took the bus and survived). That being said once you get there, you will just want to stay, maybe forever!

Nothing, it was lovely!

Great waterfront and activities. Nice landscaping. Room was simple but adequate. I think they had better rooms too Near Marina w great restaurants

Sometimes a challenge finding help at the desk.

Possibility to rent a paddleboard, bicycles and other equipment. Privacy and a private beach was great.

Stunning location with direct access to the sea. The grounds are gorgeous, the views amazing. Access to SUP and kayaks are a great plus.
