Spiaggia di Foddini Tours and Activities

Not really a hotel…more of an experiment. Two big issues: arrival logistics and crazed decor. The hotel occupies one floor, 4 flights up off of a busy street. There isn’t a way to stand with a car, so you need to self park in the public parking lot across the way and navigate to the building. Then you buzz to get in but the choices then are the stairs or an elevator, which is locked. No signage explains where to find the hotel floor. When we asked why there isn’t any signage about all of this, they said they assume guests will learn all they need to know from their website. Second issue: while you will see some charming pictures of quirky decor online, in reality the landings, hallways and rooms are crammed with miscellaneous sculptures and art for sale. I am sure this was all a joy to acquire, but it is just too crowded and poorly hung to appreciate any of it. Property upkeep is also an issue, primarily in the common area. Positives are the staff, who try hard, hot water and an excellent location. We are frequent travelers and habitually high raters. This whole experience will cause us to be more cautious about booking hotels in the future.

Lovely attentive staff, quiet rooms, a beautiful garden, a perfect stay.
