It is a small mom & pop hotel, however the staff is very friendly. They have a tram that takes you to the square and picks you up, and a wonderful breakfast. Overall a cozy spot away from all the chaos of the city and intertwines you in the local community.

I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment The rooms were basic but all I needed What made this place special was the staff they made you feel like family like a community? Most of the staff are a community. They live nearby. They told me about their lives We had a shared experience The pool bar food was very good The breakfast excellent and such good value Honestly, I never have breakfast at the hotels A breakfast at Porto Castello is a worthwhile exception Drink prices to be honest were cheap Shuffle five or six times a day each way to the city What more could you ask for? I will be back again but this time with my family. I've been to a lot of places, but I will never forget this the Porto Castello

I thought my stay at This Hotel was worth the money . Breakfast was fine and thr staff tried to do their best with everything . It's in a semi- secluded port area , near the airport which to me is it's advantage. You only have Wi-Fi , ( internet ) service while at the Hotel .. you have a secluded ( black ) beach all to yourself. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfy . The outside balcony is a plus . Limited parking , (on the street ) if you are renting a car at the airport. Pool is a really good size and was not utilized due to it being too cold . I will be back again at this hotel ..
