Review of Villaggio Club ALTALIA

We were (and we still are as I write) in the week ...

We were (and we still are as I write) in the week of August in the apartment / hotel full breakfast formula and we found an excellent quality / price ratio considering that our. son did not pay (children up to 7 years were free). Good is the village that rises in the Mediterranean pine forest made of secular pines and magnolias as well as shrubs of oleanders and fruit trees, essentially oranges, bergamots and figs. The well-tended vegetation interspersed between the blocks of row ensures shading almost for most of the houses where, however, we have run very little time. The older structure of the apartments, squeezed between the railway and the sea, is flanked by the four-story hotel with swimming pool and restaurant, where the renovation of the rooms, which seems recent, is said to be excellent (I have not personally seen the rooms, but the people known during the stay talked about it well). For the apartments, it seems that only the residence formula is possible, without breakfast or meals. To know that the terraced houses are without air conditioning, even if the local microclimate has been characterized all the days. from constant wind from South / West and / or South / East coming however from the channel of Sicily. The kitchen we found it right, similar to that of home, with dishes with a clean taste never cloying: the choice was limited to a few alternatives, but it was always possible to have lunch and dinner without sacrificing reach, obviously also appreciating local culinary choices not really in our ropes; the only neo certainly improved: the breakfast, where we expected to find an espresso and / or a cappuccino, while it was always necessary to go to the coffee bar. The parking lot is equipped with photovoltaic shelters which are an obvious sign of the investments made and in progress: we hope to be able to return to them in the future and see that they have been extended to give the right solution to the many details that actually seem a bit left to themselves . Excellent sea. Overall the grade is good. It's worth it
