Das Hotel war für eine 4 Stern Residenz eher mager. Wenn sich Leute in den Gängen bewegten , übertrug sich das Geklapper vom in die Zimmer. Nachtruhe war schlecht (bis um 11.00 Uhr sehr laut. Das Personal an der Rezeption wahr kalt und unfreundlich. Das Zimmer war gross und gut eingerichtet. Wir würden Dieses Hotel nicht mehr besuchen. (nicht weiter Empfehlen.

A well deserved 4 stars hotel

We stayed in this hotel for a few days during Spring Break with a 3 old kid. The location of the hotel on the Biodola beach is fantastic. The hotel infrastructure is also extraordinary with tennis courts and all the services available on site and in the nearby Hermitage Hotel. We also appreciated very much the staff kindness and professionalism, especially because of the extra attention a little kid needs. Overall we were very happy with our staying. On the side of improvement, the rooms—at least on the ground floor, which still has the great advantage of the access to the garden—were not well soundproofed and at night we could clearly hear people talking in the near rooms. Also the shower in the bathtub was rather cramped. Other than that we enjoyed very much our staying and we plan on returning to this hotel.

Lovely hotel excellent staff!

We stayed at hotel biodola for 9 days. The hotel was lovely and the staff were fantastic really helpful friendly and polite. We rented a car which the hotel arranged for us and had a great time exploring the beautiful island! There's a couple of restaurants close by such as Luciano & Retro gusto that do amazing food. A fab stay overall! I'd happy go back to Elba island and Hotel Biodola any time.

Très bel hôtel, tout proche de la plage

Très belle découverte de l'île. Cependant, le restaurant de l'hôtel est très cher et pour dîner à un prix raisonnable, il faut prendre la voiture sur des routes sinueuses de montagne.

...nett...

Waren 1 Woche Anfang Juli (grosse Hitze...) im Hotel, zum Glück sind die Zimmer gut klimatisiert. Zimmer selbst sind guter Standard und sehr sauber (Servicepersonal und Putzfeen sind wirklich hervorragend) allerdings auch extrem hellhörig. Wer schon mal neben einer ital. Familie mit Kleinkind gewohnt hat, weiss, dass das "grosses Kino" sein kann, ob man will oder nicht...! Essen sollte man unbedingt mit HP wählen, da der Ort ansonsten keine grossen Möglichkeiten bietet. Ausserdem ist das Abendessen auch wirklich sehr gut, wenn auch schlecht für die Bikinifigur! Strand inkl. Liegen & Schirme - das Ganze bekommt man vom Hoteleigenen Bademeister zugeteilt bzw. darf ein freies Eck wählen - garantiert Plätze auch bei späterem Erscheinen und macht Reservierungen mittels Handtuch überflüssig...! Wasser hatte eine super Qualität, Sandstrand war gut gepflegt. Alles in allem: empfehlenswert und für einen reinen Badeurlaub sehr gut geeignet.

Emplacement idéal pour profiter de la plage

Les chambres sont de taille correctes, propres et très bien aménagées avec beaucoup de rangement très bien conçu. Petit balcon pratique. Emplacement idéal près d'une grande plage de sable très agréable avec système d'attribution d'un parasol et de transats pour toute la durée du séjour. Loin d'autres villages de l'île. Restaurant de l'hôtel à éviter car la salle ressemble à un immense réfectoire sans aucun charme et bruyant.

I Love Biodola!

Everything was fantastic. The location was spectacular. Great beach, great swimming. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facilities were well maintained. Two minor complaints, the bed was marginal and the dress code for the restaurant was annoying. It was too hot to dress for dinner when it was 35 degrees so I went elsewhere.
