This stay was to be the highlight of our Italian vacation. The breakfast was made to order and delicious, the rooms were large and there were 2 pools. The day spa with thr heated pool was divine. There were some areas that were disappointing. Firstly the beds were very uncomfortable, the mattress was too firm and felt quite thin. The rooftop pool was allegedly "heated" but it was consistently freezing. I chose this hotel for the pool and proximity to the beach, however the pools were too cold. Despite being so close to the local beach, the hotel did not offer any beach chairs for their guests. Lastly, my son's bed was not made up upon arrival and they consistently only provided 2 instead of 3 towels which was inconvenient. Im glad we decided against the deluxe room with the private plunge pools as those rooms were in a basement level and didnt get any direct sunlight. Happy hour was for tea with some snacks but wines were not discounted. For the price of the hotel, i did expect a wider range of amenities for guests - such as daily bottles of water at the very least. The housekeeping and breakfast staff were very lovely. The breakfast chefs were very talented with delicious pastries.

The Posia is address the street from the Ocean so the view is beautiful but the town of San Foca has limited activities and dining despite the potential it is lacking in many ways. The hotel is average some of the staff is spacey. The valet/bellhop recommended a restaurant which was a sort of scam so beware of recommendations. The hotel charges for everything from beach towels, chairs, parking and you have to reserve a chair at a small pool. The pool is misleading from website. The pools are small . The hotel also scheduled a photo shoot the day we were leaving and the staff prioritized that over their customers. I feel like this hotel is average I would not recommend it. The beach is a walk and you have to pay for parking. The spa is in the basement and the gym is like a dungeon I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. It’s not worthy it.

Ne vaut pas un 5 étoiles
Bel établissement mais ne vaut pas 5 étoiles. Même pas une bouteille d’eau de courtoisie. Eco _responsabilité moyenne car impossible de boucher le lavabo. Il faut laisser couler l’eau non stop. Chambres modernes avec balcon mais vue pas terrible. Bon petit-déjeuner avec du choix et des produits frais. Restaurant avec des prix un peu élevés.

Nous n’aimions pas notre chambre. Heureusement, le gestionnaire de l’hôtel nous a gentiment permis de raccourcir notre séjour pourtant réserver sans possibilité d’annulation. Pour moi, cela signifie beaucoup. Au Posia, ils sont professionnels et compréhensifs. L’hôtel était par ailleurs complet. Donc, nous, nous n’aimions pas notre chambre, mais de nombreuses personnes aiment beaucoup cet hôtel.

Keine 5 Sterne wert, überteurt, mässiger Service
Restaurant war am Tag der Anreise ausgebucht und es hiess wir hätten vorausbuchen müssen. Dafür wurden wir aber nie informiert und das Restaurant war aber mehrheitlich leer. Für einen Spezialevent wurden wir informiert, jedoch gab es keine vegetarisches Angebot resp. wir hätten dies selbst mit dem Küchenchef besprechen müssen. Das Empfangspersonal war mässig freundlich und hat nie gefragt, ob uns der Aufenthalt gefallen hat. Alles in allem war das Hotel viel zu teuer und wurde einem 5 Sternen Betrieb nicht gerecht.

Luxury retreat, spa and food just what we needed
Loved our stay! Out of season, but our stay was perfect! The staff, the place, the view, the food! We went to the spa which was just as great as the rest and our massages was one of the best we’ve ever had.(We’ve had a few) Will gladly return and hopefully before we fly back! Grazie Mille!
