Santo Stefano al Mare Vacation Packages

It is always disappointing when you go to a hotel that promotes itself as a 4-star hotel and, at best, it is only a 3 star hotel. Hotel Parifi & Spa is in a good position but the rooms not facing the beachfront are right on the road and opposite two railway tracks which are extremely noisy. Our room No406 was also right next to the elevator and that further added to the noise. The self serve buffet breakfast is limited and uninspiring - too many bread and pastries, with limited fruits and no variety. No room service menu or hotel directory in the room. No English speaking channels on the TV including news services. The lobby, restaurant area and outside terrace area look tired. There are also major beachfront works being undertaken which potential guests, as we were, were not advised of. Having worked in 5 star hotels and taught hospitality management for many years, this was a really disappointing experience. My advise to the hotel - focus on becoming the best 3 star hotel you can, then you won’t let future guests down. If you are thinking of staying book only beachside and don’t expect four star service or amenities.

This property would have got a 5rating from me except for two items. The first was the air conditioning was not turned on for the entire building. This forced us to keep the window open or close the window with the temp getting 75 . We opted to open the window. Some type of bug got to us (confirmed by doctor at a local clinic) and both my wife and I got 30 bites on the face and shoulder. We had to keep the window closed after that and so nights were hot and sticky. Breakfast was good and the property maintained well.

Except the construction part who was noisy and the eat in the room , the air conditioning was not working well everything was perfwct

very good location walking distance to everything downtown.

hotel was really beautiful
