We had the unfortunate experience of having all our luggage stolen, our money stolen and our rental car broken into. Directly following that experience we arrived at your hotel 2:30 am in the morning . The staff went above and beyond to provide a lovely meal for us, drinks , essentials such as toothbrush, toothpaste and even facial
Products. The next day they did their best to close up the broken window of our car all by their own volition. The hotel, food and service plus incredible view couldn’t be better. Thank you so much for restoring our trust in Italy and thereby allowing us the opportunity to stay and enjoy the country.

Overall I really liked this hotel however a couple things really degraded the experience even though I booked the most expensive room at the hotel. Typically when you get the best room in an entire hotel they treat you extra well, not in this case.
1. There is NO on site parking. You have to park about a mile away and call the hotel for them to come pick you up in a golf cart because the streets to the hotel are too small for a car. I wish I had known this before going to the hotel as it took me a very frustrating 30min to find this out from the locals in town.
2. I like my room to be a little bit on the colder side and the air conditioning does not go below 19celcius at this hotel. I have travelled all over the world and never seen a hotel restrict the temperature this high and it was definitely not feeling like 19c in the room, more like 23c. Suffice to say I was tossing and turning all night sweating. After calling the front desk they told me it was italian law which was a lie since my hotels in both florence and rome had no issue going below 19.
That all being said, the property is beautiful, the view is amazing and the food at the restaurant on site is top notch. If not for the air conditioning and parking situation it would get 5 stars from me. Because of the air conditioning issue alone I will never stay at this hotel again.

Fantastic view from the location which is very isolated. You need a car which you can park on the private parking. You will be picked up with a small electric car. Room is not worth 5 star qualification. Restaurant area, which was recently renewed, is beautiful and a big plus. Great breakfast and diner options at the hotel. Service in the restaurant was friendly and professional. Swimming pool also ok. Hospitality and service is nice, although the start, one week before we arrived (!) was far from showing respect for your clientele. They asked us upfront paying otherwise they were canceling the reservation + charging the full fee of the rooms for not showing up (we made a guaranteed booking through hotels.com). I made several calls with hotels.com to please the owner of the hotel…. Please remember that clients are free to choose! It was like entering a prison due to this experience ‘on distance’! Never had this experience, as frequent traveler, before.

An amazing gem in Montemarcello that became one of our favorite stops on our journey. Stunning views, amazing cuisine, superb service and spa! Saunas, pools, jacuzzi and massages. I would go back in a minute.

Amazing hotel with a fantastic view of the Golfo dei Poeti. It is a very quiet and romantic place with a nice swimming pool and a very good restaurant open for breakfast and diner.
The only minor issue is that the parking is a 5 minute walk away from the hotel. You can call the hotel staff to pick you up in a sort of golf cart if you are feeling lazy.
Overall a really gorgeous place.

The staff were amazing. The view was to die for!
The parking being accessed via a shuttle service was slightly inconvenient but not a major problem
The hotel is not particularly built for wheelchair access - though the staff make up for this being so helpful.

We absolutely loved this hotel! You’ll need a car to get to it but it’s totally worth it. The views are stunning, the service is top notch and the food is right up there with the best I’ve ever tasted. We highly recommend Golfo dei Poeti!

Overall the hotel was great, but we Asked several times to be moved as we got a disabled room. No one ever helped and they wouldn't upgrade for free even though rooms were empty. We were only there for two days but they were not accommodating. I would never stay there again even though it was a nice place.

The breakfast is great, dining in the hotel is fantastic. The rooms are quite and peaceful and removed from the city, you don't need to leave but if you want to, there is lots to see around the area.

This hotel has all the bones to be a great hotel, but it's not. Views are spectacular from the property and although everything else is well laid out, the lack of maintenance borderline ruins the experience. You have to park your car in town, call the hotel and they pick you up with a three wheeled cart. Quaint but slightly inconvenient and you'll need a cell phone. Easy walking around town but there isn't a whole lot in Montemercello.
As mentioned, this place has the bones but it doesn't appear to be well managed. The staff don't appear happy and aren't always helpful - especially the "spa" "person". The pool wasn't very clean and the rooms were borderline clean - in most cases everything was just on the verge of not being cleaned or maintained. The Spa if you can call it that is really a joke to Mexican , North American, and I would guess most good European, standards. Most of the rooms like the sauna and steam rooms were shut down and there wasn't much else. To base your advertising off this feature was frankly disappointing and I would say misleading. The owner/manager or whoever he was - was not very polite, attentive, caring or helpful. He didn't even introduce himself but I heard someone call him the owner. The breakfast was pretty good but we did not eat there otherwise because the prices versus in town were outrageous. Lovely views and great location, but I wouldn't recommend this place.

We arrived to the beautiful Golfo Dei Poeti after a fun but hectic week in Rome and Florence with our two sons, 16 and 18. We all were happy to be in a relaxed environment in beautiful surroundings. I have a mixed feelings on the resort. On the positive, the setting is really lovely. We enjoyed hiking down to the black sand beach and exploring the rest of the area by car. The breakfast was amazing - many, many tasty items offered. However, the service at the hotel was not really up to the level of the room price. The spa was very limited - just really a steam and sauna room - this is not a spa resort. The rooms were nice, but because the pool and dining area have such lovely views, I dont think it is worth spending the extra $$ on the ocean view It is more of a couples resort, or for very young children - ie babies. Its a very calm and relaxing place, not ideal for teens. We were ok because we left after breakfast and came back late at night. Overall, I would say it was a good stay, but not great.

The hotel is located in a viewpoint.
To get to it you park at a parking lot, phone the hotel & a golf cart comes for you.
The place is beautiful.
The hotel it's fine. Far from a 5 star hotel.
The staff is GREAT.
Only a few persons but all very nice & helpful.
The only restaurant it's not great for dinner but good for breakfast.
Not many services in the hotel.
Not even a well filled minibar in the room.
The overall experience is VERY GOOD.
More like a GREAT B&B than a 5 Stars Hotel.

Can't say enough how wonderful our (too short) stay was at this lovely hotel. First, we were going to be driving in quite late, and I called to see when the restaurant would be open until. They told me if we arrived by 10 they would wait for us, and they did. They had the entire dining room open just for my husband and I. They didn't rush us, they explained the dishes, wine, menu, etc, and we had just a simply amazing meal. Our server was so wonderful, perfect service all around and we even got to thank the chef for staying late to accommodate us.
The check in was super quick and we were shown to our very lovely room with balcony and water view. In the morning, there was of course wonderful cappuccino and a feast fit for royalty awaiting us. As it was my birthday, they even made me a super decadent chocolate torte and brought it out with a candle.
We took walk around the beautiful property and take in the sun coming out from the clouds to light up the islands across the water. Simply gorgeous!
There were many amenities that we weren't even able to take advantage of since we were just there shortly overnight. I plan to come back and take advantage of the rest for sure!

Amazing ! An oasis of peace and tranquility. Loved it

A wonderful hotel. The staff and friendly, the room comfortable. But the food is astonishing. They provide by far the most delicious and extensive breakfast Ive ever tasted, while the evening meals are a delight.The restaurant deserves awards, both for the food and the view of the sunset over the bay.

Great service, very new and clean with plenty of room and fantastic views. The nearby town is fairly small and very limited in terms of shopping (none) or restaurants (two) but the meals at Golfo Poeti are excellent. Dinner was great and we were equally pleased with the choices at breakfast. Everything was exceptional. We also asked for drinks and appetizers by the pool and were extremely impressed by the "can do" attitude and great food for what was a very last minute request. The Golfo Poeti staff didn't mind at all and went out of their way to make us comfortable.
1.3
Hotel is nice and small. staff are very helpful. located in a small village on a mountain.
The only negative is that it is impossible to find the hotel as the car cannot reach the hotel entrance. they have a small shuttle bus but they should have a sign next to the parking and a way to reach the hotel without going all the way down to the hotel
1.3
Great SPA hotel, great views from anywhere in the hotel, great pool area, great breakfast.
Drinks and foods are very expensive, much more than other hotels in the area.
