Very Good

Cercavamo una sistemazione per due notti con occasione di visitare le Grotte... Confrontando le proposte, questa ci è sembrata buona tra qualità , posizione e prezzo. Arrivati non abbiamo cambiato idea.. parcheggio privato con cancello automatico... ambiente pulito... prese per cellulari, luce per leggere a letto, frigorifero, televisione, divanetto sul quale appoggiare due valigie, asciugamani cambio giornaliero , colazione servita in un ambiente vicino... torta, cornetto, yogurt, succo, cappuccio, frutta, caffè . Condizionatore che abbiamo utilizzato per scaldare ambiente visto il tempo... Bagno con finestrino ... Tutto molto semplice ma con tutto ciò che è
indispensabile perchè chi è in viaggio .

Gestore scorretto
Ho prenotato per i miei colleghi 2 alloggi per un totale di 4 ospiti . Il gestore ( host ) della struttura ha incassato l'intero importo del soggiorno ma poi ha fatto il furbetto cancellando le prenotazioni in modo da non pagare le provvigioni a hotels.com e di conseguenza mi ha contattato hotel.com dicendomi che non ci eravamo presentati alla struttura e in virtù di ciò mi ha cancellato le 2 notti che avevo accumulato come socio hotels rewards. Questo è un comportamento scorretto è disonesto da parte del gestore .
The stay was exactly what wexneeded but the experience was made soecial by the kindness and help of the owners when our car broke down. Not only did they get our car fixed, but they also gave me a lift to my hospital appointment - without my asking.
comodo a 2 passi dall'ingresso delle grotte di Castellana

Sicuramente migliorabile
Poche le note positive che, per correttezza, vanno subito indicate. Tra queste la colazione, abbondante e buona, e la posizione a circa 500 metri dalle Grotte, raggiungibile a piedi.
Tra quelle discutibili l'accoglienza: non che ci aspettassimo una festa con fuochi d'artificio ma almeno un pizzico di cordialità, qualità che non manca nel popolo pugliese.
Stanza minimale, discretamente accogliente. Pulizia non accurata e decisamente migliorabile.
Ultima cosa... le zanzare... tante (ma questo non può essere colpa del proprietario anche se un repellente elettrico avrebbe reso le notti più tranquille).
E' la seconda volta che soggiorno in questa struttura, il personale è premuroso, ha un ottimo parcheggio interno, le camere sono pulite e calde, la colazione è abbondante, è vicino ai luoghi di interesse

Accoglienza praticamente inesistente. Per far colazione bisogna uscire dalla struttura e camminare per 200 mt (al freddo e al gelo in questo periodo), colazione solo dolce, camere di fronte ad un locale con musica a tutto volume.
très bon accueil , très calme ,très agréable séjour

Attente du logeur pendant au moins une demi-heure, accueil minimaliste. Restaurant (pizzeria) dans le centre ville ( au moins 2km) de nuit et sans GPS pas la peine d'essayer ( heureusement le nôtre est performant). Petit déjeuner sur place mais simple ( nappes non repassées)
Mi sono trovato una meraviglia, sicuramente in futuro ci ritorno

hotêl bien placé. proximité avec les sites
Séjour agréable dans son ensemble. la proximité des restaurants et sites touristiques ainsi que les plages magnifiques sont un plus non négligeable.
Néanmoins, je reste un peu deçue de la propreté de la chambre...les sanitaires sont nettoyés chaque jours et le linge changé mais les murs sont loin d être nickels. Le lit prévu double était 2 lits joints.
Pour les impondérables de la wifi attention elle ne fonctionne pas très bien..et pour ceux qui aiment se prélasser devant la tv pas de chaine française... mais rien d indispensable durant les vacances !!!
Alla ricerca di un punto d'appoggio per visitare Alberobello abbiamo trovato questa sistemazione in una cittadina vicino (Castellana Grotte). Questa si è rivelata una buona scelta in quanto ci ha fatto scoprire anche le Grotte di Castellana (che meritano una visita).
Pessima l'accoglienza: nessuno rispondeva al cellulare, nessuno mi ha chiesto a che ora sarei arrivato. All' arrivo trovo un cancello chiuso, suono e non mi apre nessuno: 20 minuti per trovare il responsabile. Il giorno della partenza volevo fare la colazione alle 8, come previsto, ma non c era nessuno : il responsabile è arrivato 15 minuti dopo. Per il resto bene, però così è dura rilassarsi..
