Review of Relais Regina Giovanna 4*

We (2adults and 3 children) recently returned after an 11 day stay where we all had a wonderful time. The hotel is a real jewel of a find and the staff are all super friendly and always accommodating. We stayed in one of the 2 bed apartments which we were a bit dubious about but we couldn't be more happy with our choice. The apartments were cleaned every day and the hotel and all guests can use the buggy service where they drop off at the beach bar, main hotel and even the local grocery on the main road. We had breakfast in the hotel a number of times which was simple and had a lovely selection of freshly baked cakes and beautiful fresh bread, especially the sourdough which was delicious. We also dined at the restaurant a number of times and it was by far the best food we had during our stay in the region. On Sundays they only served pizza as they have an outdoor restaurant with a wood fired oven. We had spent a few days in napoli prior to staying in this hotel and had dined at some of the best pizzerias, therefore I was happy to say the pizza here was as good as pizza we had in napoli. The private beach really is private and only accessible to hotel guests, where they have towels, floats and goggles. They even had a kayak that guests were free to use with life jackets. The only complaint I have would be that the outdoor areas around the hotel are beautifully maintained, but not so with the apartments as there were tables and chairs all around the building, but they were surrounded by overgrown weeds and uncut grass so not really usable. The management were aware of this and said they were going to rectify this. But other than this the hotel, grounds and private beach are a real treasure and there is so much on offer to keep children of all ages happy. All in all a wonderful hotel with lovely staff and beautiful grounds with breathtaking scenery.
