La Chiave dei Trabocchi

The hotel itself was good - clean and comfortable room. We did not find the staff to be too friendly or helpful - maybe due to the language barrier. The pool was located in a beautiful garden area, but was not heated so a little chilly. The beach is across the street and down a large bank of stairs - $$ to use hotel chairs. 10 minute walk to small town for restaurants.

Great view of the Adriatic sea. Our room was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the restaurant. Good service and fresh sea food on the terrace with good wine selection. Great breakfast buffet. Reserved parking only for 6,7 cars. Nice pool, but not on the hotel premises. You have to cross the street and pay extra for towels. To reach the sea you have to cross a very busy road (no pedestrian traffic light) and go down an 80+ steps stair. The hotel "beach" is approximately 10 meters wide. No sand, but gravel (very unconfortable to walk on it barefoot). You have to pay extra for the umbrella, lounge chairs and towels. We ate at the trabocco restaurant sponsored by the hotel which is about 1 km away south. The transfer provided is by a 6-seat bycicle. The restaurant is very picturesque and clean. The service was good, but the fixed menu (mainly sea food) limited our choices and was not the best experience since the dishes were clearly pre-cooked.

Very nice property, excellent stay. We enjoyed the private beach and pool. And town is a short 15 minute walk along the bike/walking path on the shoreline. Great area, great hotel, and enjoyed our stay.

Lovely hotel!

The perfect hotel for a quick stop over on our way to Tuscany
