“Clean and Modern”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011

My wife and I decided to spend a day in Sperlonga and selected this hotel based on positive Trip Advisor reviews. The Virgilio Grand is a business hotel and probably does a bulk of its business in the summer when the beach is a larger draw; it was very quiet during our stay. The entire atmosphere of the hotel is very contemporary so if you are looking for "old world charm" this is not the place. The room was clean and well appointed; however it had a sloped ceiling (fortunately not concrete) which I bumped my head on a few times. The bed was very firm (typical for Italy) and was composed of two mattresses placed side by side (somewhat common), thus there is a seam in the middle. Ours was a smaller double room and had a shower, no tub. The staff was friendly and spoke enough English. There is no wi-fi in the rooms; only in the lobby (it is free of charge). Parking was free at the hotel and on the street since it was off-season. The included breakfast was average by European standards. This property also has a spa and gym for which I could find no prior reviews. We were quoted 20 euro for day use of the spa and 10 euro for the gym. We were permitted to look at the gym and it was very small and not worth 10 euro. We did not look at the spa. The beach and touristy part of town was a short walk from the hotel. The shoreline stretches for quite a distance and is a nice walk. Overall this is a nice property and we would stay here again, but we would probably explore other options as well.

“Only a few steps away from paradiso in terra”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

I did a ton of research to identify the best beach in Italy, and based on my travels around the country, Sperlonga was the right choice. It is truly a wonderful, magical place, with warm, clear water and delicious food. There is loads of fantastic seafood, something my love and I both adore. The little cafes along the beach serve terrific caprese salad sandwiches, and their are great little gelato stands near the open air square where live musical performers play almost nightly during the summer.

The Virgilio offered a fantastic rate on one of the laterooms or lastminute sites, so we enjoyed a luxurious room for a very low cost. The breakfast was included and was very tasty. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat if I couldn't get a villa rental. I think it would be fun to have one's own place so that one could make as much noise with one's love as one wished...if you know what I mean. But if I had to choose a resort, I'd pick the Virgilio. Very nice staff, beautiful lodging, great location.

“VERY, VERY GOOD HOTEL”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

We (2 middle aged but relativly hip couples) have nothing but heaped praise for this hotel.

Good position about 150 yards/meteres from beach, modern, exceptionally clean, friendly and helpfull staff most of whom spoke at least a smattering of english and appreciated us trying to speak some Italian.

Rooms are very nice comfortable beds, plenty of room good adjustable aircon, nice balconies, we normally stay B & B but had a good deal on half board and the food was excellent, 4 courses Antipasti, primmi piati, secondi piatti & desert/fruit all delicious. Nice wine list with the house wine red & white at just 12 euro a bottle it was good tho we tried a couple of others. The buffet breakfast was copious and good, a huge choice hot & cold and being italy of course a good array of cakes!! lovely cuppacino + good expresso and hot water for tea on tap.

Lovely pool with nice comfy sunbeds and a jaccuzzi. So nice we never did lie on the beach - Oh yes and Sperlonga is lovely especially the old town ( a tip the shortest route is via Torre di Nobbio, about 30 yards up the rd from the lower town sq.

Room Tip: Corner Rooms are bigger (in fact vast!)

“Lovely, clean , great breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2011

This is a great hotel. The only problem is they dont supply towels for use at the pool.
I however just used my room towels.
Sperlonga is a stunning place with beautiful beaches

“Clean, Modern, Close to beach”

We stayed in an attic room which was new and comfortable with great air conditioning. Ceiling sloped to the windows but it was not a problem. Hotel was close to the beach and a short walk uphill to the lovely heart of Sperlonga. Parking was free. Breakfast was large and varied by Italian standards.
