Villa Giovanna

The villa is beautiful and there was lots to love about the place - the staff were friendly and very accommodating, breakfast was great and served in a lovely garden. However, the location is not as advertised on Expedia - it’s definitely not a 10 min walk to the beach. It’s far from any shop, piazza or beach and situated on a road with no pavements that is too dangerous to walk down. There is a shuttle bus, which is absolutely essential as taxis are astronomical. Over lunch, there’s a 3 hour break in the shuttle service, so you need to time your shuttles to the centre wisely and you can end up stuck in the (very expensive, very hot) town centre for a long time if you get it wrong. The room was ok, but very small - our 2 single beds had barely an inch between them and it felt claustrophobic. The pool is lovely, but extremely small (more of a cold plunge than a pool you can swim in) and is right by the entrance, so doesn’t feel terribly private. There’s only a handful of sun loungers and not all of them get the sun. These things were a drawback for us and it was a shame because otherwise it’s a really nice place.

Staff very welcoming and helpful. Felt like you were staying in a private home. Location and views were stunning. HIghlignt of our 3 week tour of Italy. Could have spent more days relaxing at the Villa!

Gorgeous property.

Hotel and Staff were amazing. Laura was extremely helpful with navigation and friendly. The free shuttle pick up was a life saver as we were on a tight schedule and honestly lost lot of the time on how to get around. Would recommend and would definitely stay again.

My boyfriend and I just stayed here and we absolutely loved it! The staff are so kind and go over and beyond. The grounds are beautiful, breakfast in the morning is amazing & the shuttle bus is the cherry on top. Cannot recommend enough. Hopefully be lucky enough to be back in the future ♥️
