Good points: Hotel Perticari, sits in one of the best locations next to the beach. The rooms are large and airy (during the day!) and all have a balcony overlooking the sea. It has a half size olympic pool and, either free street parking (permit) or you can pay for their garage. Then you can use the free bikes to get around. Staff are very friendly and relaxed. We had half-board, food was fine if a bit odd at times with a good selection of reasonably priced wines.
Bad points: The air conditioning in your room just doesn't work properly. It whirrs but with little action. basically you are in a hermatically sealed room and you sweat! If you leave your window open and blinds up, its noisy (thats just Italy!) and the dawn will wake you at 5.30. The management say a technician has fixed it but i don't think they can as its all centrally controlled from a computer at 27 degrees c! So we had to hassle every night for a fan, which they had to steal from the barman!
When we paid our bill, they did give us a good discount but then having to go down to reception at 3am every morning kinda spoils your sleep. I think the hotel is in denial about the problem. We checked out 2 other rooms and spoke to another couple and they verified it was the same for them (but they didn't complain!)
Its a shame because its a nice hotel, full of Italian tourists (not Brits which is great). So we can't recommend the hotel as the management appeared unable to sort out the problem.
