Hotel Del Mare

Contrary to some of the other reviews I loved this hotel. I travel with a mobility scooter. Although I did not take it to my room they secured it near the front desk. I took an elevator to my room and they brought my bags to me. This is not a Chain Hotel. It is charming, delightfully decorated and the staff treated me like royalty. My room had a view of the amazing Mediterranean Sea. Next door at a very reasonable price was the freshest best seafood I have ever eaten. I easily scootered along the coast and around the town which gave me a great impression of an ordinary Italian town. The hotel is about 15 minutes from the airport. I strongly suggest you book a transfer prior to arriving at the airport. The difference in price is about 1/3. After about 17 hours in airports and planes this was the perfect solution. I took a cab the next day to the Hotel Indigo near the Vatican for an additional 3 days in Historic Rome, which took about an hour in heavy traffic. The price of Hotel Del Mare was about 1/4 Hotel Indigo and to me a great value. Do not expect it to be an Indigo.

I booked a room to be handy for an early flight out of Italy the next day. Wow! What a lovely hotel with a great view! The sea is steps from the front door. Fine dining is handy. Beach volleyball is right out front.

The smell was unbearable & the AC didn't work! Awful old bedding! The room was old and worn. Very unpleasant experience! We had to keep the windows open for some clean air but we were attacked all night by Misquotes and other insects (maybe bed bugs or spiders). The staff at the front desk was very nice, luckily we only needed to stay one night to get to the airport for our flight back to the U.S., we do not recommend this place to anyone, we will never stay there again!
