Cattolica Homestays

This is supposed to be a four star hotel but while the staff are mostly very pleasant and helpful and the rooms are clean and comfortable, the place is soulless! The decor is drab and uninviting with little to relieve it. There was a convention on while we were there but there still appeared to be no public areas to sit other than reception or outside, and when we were there it was raining. Dinner was buffet style so we didn’t go there but to a much nicer restaurant opposite The bar is tiny and stuck in a corner with no proper seating. Breakfast is mostly pastries Italian style although there was the option of overcooked bacon and rubbery scrambled egg! Cheese ham and some fruit was also available. Parking was difficult as the garage was full and there is limited free parking on the street outside. The positives are that the position of the hotel is great for a beach holiday as the beach opposite is free and the cleanliness of the place is good. It was fine for a one night stay- if somewhat expensive for what we got- but there are other much nicer looking places nearby if you are staying any longer.

I am writing this review while my family and I are still in the hotel, just to make sure I will not forget anything. So....just to begin with....this could most probably be one of the most beautiful hotels in Cattolica, if not actually the nicest one and I will try to write a detailed review so that it is as clear as possible. Location - it is the only hotel located on the beach (literally) - you actually get out of the building and your feet will directly hit the sand :). Rooms/Cleanliness - we are travelling with our 1.7 years old baby girl so a clean room was absolutely mandatory in order for us to have a nice, relaxing stay. We definitely found that! The room was spotless and has been kept like that every day by the absolutely amazing cleaning ladies. I have read reviews saying that there were dirty bed sheets .... no no no. It was definitely not our case. Everything is literally spotless. I have also read reviews saying that the bathrooms need an upgrade. You guys....this is a historic place and from what I could tell, the owners definitely did their best to keep little pieces of history and combine them with new furniture and we believe they did an amazing job. If you expect to come in a place like this and find nothing of its historic charm.....then this is definitely not a good place for you. Restaurant - we have the all inclusive meal plan and we are definitely satisfied. Not only by the food but also by the incredible staff working in the restaurant! They are always smiling and nice (even though I am pretty sure this has been a pretty tough year for all the people working in the hotel business). Now....a message to the owner. Dear Sir.....you definitely manage the hotel with the most potential in Cattolica. I am sure you put a lot of work and soul into this structure because we could definitely see that in everything. However, there are some details missed, small things that could actually make a difference and I am only giving a few examples (even though my list is long :)): the things people see when entering the hotel's garage (that is most definitely not a four star view; the plastic flowers put on the tables of the bar - please please please replace them whith some big white candles and it would make such a different impression; please clean the terrace you have on the 4th floor and put some nice lounge chairs over there - the view up there is AMAZING and the hotel guests would definitely appreciate it (if the hotels' structure allows it, a little bar up there would be.....heaven!); do something about the hotel's ”backyard” because I know it is not your fault but that grafitti and those broken windows are not necessarily the nicest things to see.... and the list could go on. I would be more than happy to detail even more :). I was really impressed by the whole structure and you definitely have all our appreciation for all the work you put into this amazing hotel....but as I said in the begginning - it is only the sm
