Villaggio Hotel Lido San Giuseppe

This hotel was a last minute choice, and the best of our month-long journey. At first we had reserved a very cheap room but when we saw it we were very disappointed. They shouldn't even rent it. When I asked at the desk for something else, they gave us a suite right on the beach side. We were thrilled. Good thing we said something! There are beach chairs and tables for each room, the beach is clean and well taken care of, and the view is stunning. The restaurant is right on the beach-side. I had been sick with a cold and I healed here in the crystal clear water. The staff was excellant and very helpful.

We found this hotel on line and booked a day before we arrived. It was exactly what we needed after competing and travelling for almost 3 weeks throughout Italy, prior to our flight a few days later. Surroundings were beautiful, views and private beach were amazing. Hotel staff speak minimal English but were very accommodating and did what they could to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Breakfast buffet was a mixed of yogurt, cheese, ham, croissants/desserts, fruit salad. Food was generally very good. Our only complaint was that they served us very soggy, cold asparagus for one of our dinners. At times, service during dinner was very slow because there was only one server working. This person was also expected to provide service to the owner and his family during the dinner service. It was noticed that the owner and family was often service before the patrons. Hotel and our room was very clean and presentable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a couple of days just relaxing on a quiet beach.

Overall, it was lovely. Nice quality, upscale hotel. Gorgeous pool, amazing beach and views to die for! We were two couples travelling together had a very good time. One strange point....the hotel pool closes every afternoon from 12:30-4p! It's so everyone can take a nap, and people with rooms off the pool won't be disturbed while trying to sleep. Afternoon naps are big in Italy, so I guess when in Rome....!
