Unforgettable Stay in a Stunning Boutique Hotel

We had an incredible experience staying at Il Giardino Grande. From the moment we booked, we felt warmly welcomed—even before check-in, when the maitre d’hôtel, Valentina, reached out to ask about any special requests and shared a list of local restaurants and bars. Throughout our stay, Valentina was truly exceptional, helping us secure reservations at local restaurants and beach clubs, and offering invaluable advice on the best places to visit in the area. The hotel itself, fully renovated just three years ago, is one of the most elegant and luxuriously chic places we’ve ever stayed. Every interior detail has been thoughtfully designed, creating an atmosphere of refined comfort. Outside, the large garden filled with olive trees and lush botanicals offers a serene escape, complete with a beautiful and relaxing pool area. We are deeply grateful to the entire team for making our stay so enjoyable and unforgettable. We can’t wait to return!

We had the most fabulous stay at this incredible hotel – everything exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived. Valentina, the host and owner, is absolutely amazing. She welcomed us with such warmth and went above and beyond throughout our stay. Her local recommendations for beaches, restaurants, and city visits were spot on. She was always lovely, friendly, and accommodating with any additional requests we had – a truly exceptional host. All of the staff were equally brilliant. Attentive, kind, and always going the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable and happy – their hospitality made our stay even more special. The hotel itself is breathtaking. Nestled in the picturesque Italian countryside, it’s beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated to the highest standard. From the charming grounds to our spacious room and the inviting pool, every detail felt like something out of a dream. The food was another highlight – breakfast and lunch were made with fresh, high-quality produce and absolutely delicious. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We felt truly looked after and completely relaxed – the perfect escape. We’re already planning to come back next summer!
