The only thing grand about this hotel is the cavernous marble lobby that holds echos of what I imagine was once a nice place to stay. At over 200 rooms, the boasted history of the hotel does not keep up with modern amenities - even the most basic ones. The shower has a plastic shield guard that is so small you can’t wash your hair comfortably and without banging your elbows (I am a 120lb woman for reference). If you are lucky and get an interior / pool facing view, your seaward gaze will be interrupted first by the screeching unpoliced children, and then by the equally loud screeching of the breaking down doors. But more about the bathroom - it has phone plugs from the 80s / 90s still installed, the flushing is so loud you can hear it in the walls, and unlike other 5 star hotels in Italy that feature Dyson blow dryers, this one has a Stone Age monstrosity affixed to the wall. Fear not, surely for thousands of dollars a night the beds must be wonderful, you say? Well - pool facing rooms are at least quiet, so perhaps have a leg up on the standards (all first floor) that face the square and absorb the sound and riff raff turning the island into a sad version of Disney land without crowd control. If they tell you the standard rooms will be quiet after midnight, do not believe them. I assume, as well, the beds in a standard room are the same as pool facing ones. Those are certainly more quiet. But I’ve had better mattresses in motels. The “linens” are hospital quality. And there is no amount of service or hospitality that can make up for the aging bones, and failings of basic amenities. This is a 2 star air b n b vibe. Looks can be deceiving. Save your money. Or at least bring you own sheets.
