Augustus Hotel & Resort

Recently returned from a 5 night stay and had a wonderful experience, the entire setting is magical. The property is like a fairytale storybook with gardens of flowers, botanical beauty abounds with century old Cypress trees set back from the road. There are bikes available, a hotel shuttle, parking for hotel guests, EV charging which worked for us. Our room was great, it had a very large balcony! The Hotel breakfast was one of the best I have had in all of Italy ranks in the top 5. The only downside is the Beach experience, they treat it as a business for their guests rather than an amenity. It was disconcerting since we found it to be nearly 1/4 in use meaning practically empty. This is probably a result of their policy to not rent out chairs for a 1/2 day which does not make sense. We spent our mornings playing tennis nearby. They do not have a court on the hotel grounds. The location was extremly convenient and the shopping was terrific in the centro historico. Double check the concierge's recommended list of Osteria's since we found several not to be very special or good. I think that this Hotel is a place that I found to be very special with warm vibes and I will be returning. We loved it!

Stunning grounds and hotel. Comfortable bed. Helpful staff. Great breakfasts. We had a toddler and staff were understanding and gracious. Improvements: I have long legs and it’s hard to shave in a narrow shower without a step. I put the trash can in the shower to improvise and avoid cutting myself or having conditioner run into my eyes. Also, the beach lanai charges even guests exorbitantly and requires a “tent” rental just to enjoy the pool with a child friendly shallow and quick dip in Mediterranean.

Nice hotel, not really value for money ie no in room coffee machine. Swimming pool open late and closes early. Big difference if you get a room in the old villa versus the new building.

This Hotel is in a good location if you are going to Twiga, but far away from shopping. Get some bikes if you stay here and everything is in range. I stayed in the back building on 2nd floor and unfortunately you can hear the door open and close every time and footsteps etc. I got a wraparound balcony with extra room and it was super spacious and clean. The 2nd bathroom had a small bathtub which was good for our child. The property is clean, the staff is amazing and the resort is beautiful. The bar is mostly vacant and unfortunately not well attended for some reason. The breakfasts were good but not great. Overall the hotel was overpriced but I did get the biggest room during a busy weekend. Also, the room was super bright. They had blackout curtains in the spare room but the main bedrooom had a white curtain that allowed light to pass through from hall outdoor light. Also, the staff is super nice and will drive you and pick you up. The beds are not that comfy and I suggest they upgrade their bedding to a Marriott type pillows and comforter set.
