We loved it at Montesanto, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, we were there to celebrate my husband 50th birthday and they surprised him with a bottle of wine and cake. The facilities are very accessible for someone with difficulty with mobility for example, lift to the restaurant and pool and walkable paths around the property. We are definitely coming back!

Stayed mid-October. Fantastic resort, staff super friendly and attentive. We celebrated a couple of birthdays and received cakes and sparkling wines from the resort. Buffet breakfast was excellent. The resort was kept spotless and rooms cleaned each day. The location was great, near the beach, supermarkets, town and some great restaurants. Only thing I’d say could be improved upon is the heating of the indoor pool could be slightly warmer.

Great resort with some flaws

Fantastic place, couldnt fault how nice the rooms are and hotel. Onky downsides were 1. Location - it is on the outskirt of the town which means if you don't have a car you're talking 20-30 minutes of walking into town which is made hard since it is downhill and on the way back it is uphill 2. Barely any staff was knowledgeable in English which made it hard to order food/drinks 3. Kids - I love kids but there were a lot of families with kids and couples with kids which means a lot of noise 4. Not the best options for gluten free for breakfast. They have bread which isn't nice, cereals and croissant/madeleines (if they remembered to take them out of the freezer). No separate toaster either Otherwise can not fault the hotel. We were a couple with no kids and we went in September to avoid kids. If you have a family then great place as they have a kids playground and a small kids pool.
