The location was the best!!!!Room very clean, the one we were was on the small side with side ocean view. The problem was the internet, did not work and the shower extremely small and water flow was small and fluctuatated constantly so you will have cold water and hot water in a second. Breakfast was very good

The location of this hotel is amazing! All the staff (front desk, breakfast service, housekeeping etc) are exceptional in assistance and kindness. The room and bathroom have adequate space and are clean and comfortable. Breakfast in more than adequate with lots of fresh choices and windows that overlook the Adriatic Sea. Would most definitely return!

We loved our stay at Covo dei Saraceni, the location and views from the hotel are unmatched in the area. Parking was free, easy and a short walk from the hotel. The breakfast buffed was incredible with a huge variety of foods and amazing views from the breakfast room. The room was well kept and clean but slightly older. We booked dinner on the balcony which was the greatest dining experience we’ve ever had!
