“No where near Vieste”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

person found this review helpful

This was the second hotel of the Page and Moy holiday. Again well out of the way, the hotel does run a shuttle bus to Vieste - charge made, as it was the end of the season everything was closed up. If you like walking and are not sick of the sight of olive groves then there are plenty walks. It is possible to walk to the beach about one to one and half hours walk according to your mobility and where you come out at, passed all the closed up camp sites. If coming back at night be careful as the road is not lit and the Italians aim for you, fine in daylight hours but when it was getting dark it was another story.

Hotel pleasant and peaceful, but again this might change in high season as they also had conference facilties. Food again was as good as previous hotel portions smaller, but still plentiful, but the other hotel had the edge on the food although one star lesser their food was better. Catered well for vegetarians.

Indoor pool and spa with plenty of treatments cannot comment as did not use, as just did not have the time to book appointments.

Some other guests complained the walls were very thin and they could hear every word someone in the other rooms were saying, we really did not find this an issue, as we were never disturbed.

Room was smaller than last hotel, but still nice and again no heating except one night. Other hotel room was more practical by that I mean things like more storage space somewhere to hang out door coates. We had a sea view if you can call it that and you remember the old Thomson advert a stone's throw from the beach, and you need binnocules to see the sea, yes it was a long way away.

Tour manager was not very good having been away with same tour operator to Turkey earlier in the year do not know how they could justify the difference in standards. If this was the first time we had used Page and Moy it would have probably been the last. To put in perspective had better service and knowledge from the transfer rep on a package holiday earlier in the year.

I enjoyed the comments about middle Englanders - would these be the ones who think anyone from northern England are lesser humans - yes heard the coal jokes. The same ones who have acquired the Queen's accent, but after a few drinks it usually slips back, but still cannot figure out which knife and folk to use, then you see them taking food out of the restaraunt so they don't have to pay for lunch the same ones that look down at you if you do not shop at Waitrose - it used to Marks and Spencers.

“Page and Moy holiday to Apulia and Vieste, Hotel la Ginestre.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

This was the second Hotel used for this holiday this year in 2011. It was a great improvement on the first Hotel in Feline (la Duemila). Apart from all the gushing descriptions that one could give a 4 star Hotel, it was genuinely comfortable, and the service was excellent. The dinning room was good and the food was excellent. The water was always available hot. We recovered from the ordeal of the first Hotel. The picnic provided during the walk in the Umbrian Forest was superb, and was a credit to the quality of the Hotel. We were still getting back to the Hotel at 1.30 to 2.00pm after visits to the various sites (and this included a lunch break), which was far too early. Extra time could easily be used to take in much more of the sites we visited. Our guide was excellent, as she made the holiday. Quite some time was spent by our guide, assisting and managing elderly people who were really not capable of accomplishing some of the walking in steep streets in Medieval towns.

Room Tip: Ask the management so that you can look at your room first. If you don't like it they will acco...

“Good hotel away from it all.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

We stayed in this hotel in Mid October with Page & Moy Travel. The room and bathroom were clean and well serviced every day. The bar area was unwelcoming with poor unsociable seating areas. The dining room on the second floor had a great view over the surrounding olive tree groves. The food was rather poor and meagre for a 4 star hotel. The indoor pool, spa, sauna and steam rooms were very good. The gardens were neglected with the boules area and championship crazy golf overgrown with weeds. What a shame! It was the end of the Summer season, I know, but that should not matter if it's a 4 Star hotel.

Room Tip: Ask for a room overlooking the outside swimming pool!!

“Outstanding staff and good facilities.”

We were on the Page & Moy visit like several other contributors. Unlike one contributor we had no problem with the supply of vegetables, nor did we find it a problem to be seated with six others. Perhaps we were lucky with our fellow travellers, but the group that we sat with were not status obsessed middle-Englanders. The staff were very efficient and pleasant. The room was all we coiuld have asked for. The outdoor pool was very welcome after a hot day out sightseeing. Yes, the hotel, like the Duemille, is isolated. But it's a simple matter to look up the details of the hotels and view them on Google Earth. If you want a hotel in a city, this isn't for you. If you want somewhere peaceful, with good food and wine and good staff, this is worth staying at. Our P&M guide was also very hardworking and attentive.

Room Tip: Smile at the receptionist on arrival, speak Italian and give the impression that you already think s...

“Most enjoyable stay”

This was the second hotel of a Page & Moy holiday and we loved it.
Superb service, very clean and comfortable. Lovely room and excellent food. Restaurant staff a pleasure.
The pool was great and we sat outside in the grounds for hours.
Absolutely nothing to complain of - a great reflection on the manager.
We also do not understand the complaints made about Page & Moy who we found to be exemplary. A wonderful holiday.
