I chose this hotel for my first holiday as a solo female traveller after reading the reviews on Trip Advisor. I have to say I couldn't have been more pleased with my choice. The hotel was in a great location, on a quiet residential street and just 5 minutes from the beach and a 20 minute stroll into the old town. The staff were very friendly and patiently listened to me practising my shaky Italian and seemed more than happy to speak slowly and using sentences I could understand when replying to me in Italian which I really appreciated as many just respond in English. I asked for recomendations for restaurants nearby in the evenings and wasn't disapointed with any! I even recieved a discount at one as they asked where I was staying and when I told them Villa Lalla they knocked 10% off my bill!! Breakfast was lovely and fresh and a great touch was being offered a real cappucino to go with everything else that was available at no extra charge! I was made to feel very comfortable and spent a good hour or so a day early evening or on my way back from dinner sitting on the lovely sofas in reception drinking wine as I didn't want to be out on my own too late at night - even though I always felt very safe walking around the area, even in the evening.
I paid 81 euro for 3 nights and was given a double room with TV and the best shower in the world. The bed was made and fresh towles put in the bathroom everyday. The rooms were clean, modern and very comfortable. There was always hot water and there was a hair dryer in the bathroom too.
Overall the hotel made my first holiday alone the best possible experience ever. I cam home feeling refreshed and relaxed and very proud of myself for taking such a big step to boosting my confidence and look forward to my next holiday alone, I just hope i can find a hotel as perfect as Villa Lalla. Many thanks to you.
