    Pros +

    • The best value. The facilities were clean and tidy. Some of the facilities are quite old, but this does not affect the overall perception of the stay. The staff is welcoming and nice. The hotel also offers lunch, and dinner for an extra charge, which is good because in low season, you don't have a lot of options around. The hotel also leases bikes, which is convenient for exploring the area or going to the beach.
    • I had a fantastic time working remotely from this hotel to escape the July/ August heat in Milano. Location could not be better. It was almost in forte dei marmi without the price tag. The quick bike ride into town with the free bikes available at the hotel was my daily highlight. The meals at the hotel were always an option. The staff went out of their way to help out with directions and attractions. The entire atmosphere was fantastic and it seems that the hotel attracts very nice people too. I was lucky to also improve my Italian as the owners made an effort to help me practice ! I definitely will be back !
    • Nice garden with natural shade, nice large swimming pool. The rooms are good, good beds and nice balcony. The hotel offers free bikes to go to the sea.

    Cons -

    • It's a bit difficult to get there if you are not going by car, either you take 2 buses (second one with low frequency) from the train station and walk, or you can take a taxi.
    • In need of updating a little. AC and TV’s didn’t work. Limited access to food at lunchtime, unless you wanted a sit down, four course lunch you had to leave the premises and go to the supermarket 20 minutes away to get food and there are no restaurants serving lunch nearby.
    • AC in my room did not quite perform the best, but the outdoor temperature was great. I left my windows open, but - mosquitos! Not really the issue of the hotel, it is in a beautiful setting in the woods.

    Beautiful tranquil grounds, lovely swimming pool & good, easy access to the beach.

    Breakfast was fantastic every morning! The staff was able to accommodate a last minute extension of my stay as well. Grounds beautifully kept. Lots of couples and families. Free parking on site. Quiet and surrounded by the woods/trees! Room was a good size with good storage and a mini fridge, plus a nice balcony!

    AC in my room did not quite perform the best, but the outdoor temperature was great. I left my windows open, but - mosquitos! Not really the issue of the hotel, it is in a beautiful setting in the woods.

    , The breakfast was excellent also the swimming pool was great. The staff were amazing when our taxi did not arrive to take us to the airport the owners son and took us to the airport and he also rang the taxi firm for us and they told us they had not got a booking for us.

    9AlyaaPosted on: 7-10-2024

    Beautiful hotel and grounds. A lot nicer than the photos. Pool water was on the cold side. Bikes are free and available and we're so needed. Got to go round the gorgeous area

    The quadruple room was very, very small. We struggled to move in the room. Also no one replies to messages. Waited months to get specific details like is there a coffee maker. I had to eventually call the property.

    10Dmitrybel7Posted on: 7-4-2024

    Clean rooms. Great pool. Helpful and professional staff. Quiet and peaceful place. Convenient and safe free parking. Tasty and inexpensive dinner.

    Not very big rooms, but big bathrooms. Narrow access roads, but that's the way it is in this area.

    10TheaPosted on: 9-10-2023

    Staff were so helpful, amazingly refreshing pool and free bikes to cycle around the area which is needed. They even remembered our individual coffee orders each morning :)

    10OliviaPosted on: 9-8-2023

    The pool at the hotel was really lovely, incredibly clean and large size. We really enjoyed that there were bicycles available to use as it is a great way to explore the local area. The hotel staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, we really enjoyed our stay there and will definitely rebook when in the area again.

    10LucaPosted on: 8-27-2023

    Lovely family owned hotel, quiet and peaceful even in the middle of August. They offer a decent breakfast and you can also add a good lunch or dinner. The staff was amazing with us and our little daughter. I highly recommend it

    Nothing really, everything was really good

    3SandraPosted on: 8-5-2023

    location was ok, staff at the breakfast was nice

    as we checked in, nothing was explained. Neither at what time the vreakfast starts or where the breakfast is located. Also nothing else was explained, we did not know that we can rent a biciycle at the hotel. In my opinion is it very rude to „welcome“ guests like that

    7MirjamPosted on: 7-24-2023

    Property was quite comfortable and niceGood lay out outside with the lounge chairs and possibility to have drinks or your breakfast thereRoom decent size for a short stay

    No own laundry facilitiesVery small shower, would have done it a bit differently if it is a room that needs to fit 4

    10Alberto N.Posted on: 7-13-2023

    Hotel La Bussola is in a great location and the host(s) are so helpful and friendly. They accommodate all of your needs and always help answer questions. The breakfast was perfect each day and dinner was very good as well. The pool is a great place to relax for an afternoon. We enjoyed taking the bikes to the beach club and spending the day at the beach club. We also brough our own (rented) road bikes and we had no problems keeping them secured while we were there. I would definitely come back to this location, as it is nestled perfectly between the beach and the mountains. The grounds are very well maintained.

    Although the rooms were a little small, I would still return, but know to rent 2 rooms for our family.

    9CharlenePosted on: 7-7-2023

    I loved the grounds. It reminded me of Hawaii. It was lush and inviting with many comfortable outdoor seating areas. The pool was wonderful as was a play area for small children. The breakfast was very good. Beds were comfortable.

    I think the hotel could improve upon their dinners. Maybe a more varied menu.

    9PietroPosted on: 9-24-2022

    The room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant service is superb.

    I'd say that the location is a bit far away from the beaches but they offer bicycles service at the hotel.

    9XeniaPosted on: 9-4-2022

    The property was very clean, the breakfast was delicious and the pool was excellent. The garden was very green at the beginning of August to our pleasant surprise.

    The room was a little to small for 3 people but the beds were very comfortable.

    9GrzegorzPosted on: 8-13-2022

    Small and nice hotel, no crowd at the pool. Free bicycles for all stay. Good breakfast. Excellent value for money.

    WIFi was slow and unstable, Mosquitoes at the pool.

    10LarsPosted on: 8-12-2022

    We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel. Werry nice staf, and werry nice hotel manager. Nice with the saltwater pool. We hope to come back next summer.

    9BrunandnPosted on: 8-4-2022

    Everything was great and above expectations, particularly the owners and the staff, always willing to give advice and going above and beyond to fulfill guests specific needs (i.e. specific requests at breakfast).Garden and big pool are great, perfect for kids/families. Location is quiet, but also easy to reach the beach etc. Free bikes are offered to guests to get around - no need for car! Free parking. Everything very clean.

    The room is a bit small (big bathroom) and ours didn't have a balcony, but we didn't stay inside much, as outside was so welcoming, including the terrace.
