Hotel Zodiaco
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was everything it was advertised to be including a truly complete breakfast.
The very best part of the entire experience was the absolutely wonderful hosts !
Thank you again."
"Location, location , location, the Dune suite hotel is perfectly located in Porto Cesareo, about 3-4 km from the historical center with many good restaurants. Most importantly this hotel has a beautiful beach across the street, on the Ionian sea, 24 Celsius and calm 10/10 for the first week of October. At this period 2 transats and a parasol are complimentary. There is a nice bar and an evening restaurant plus takeout counters for lunch that you can eat at the beach. The rooftop pool setup of the hotel is very nice with lounge furniture and a perfect view of the sunset! Breakfast is absolutely complete and delicious. Would recommend without any doubt."
"Overall, we had a good stay at Conchiglia Azzurra. The rooms are fairly modern, clean, spacious, and well maintained, making for a pretty comfortable stay. The staff were always courteous and helpful whenever we needed assistance.
One suggestion that would significantly improve the guest experience would be to include beach access amenities with the room. Offering each room one beach umbrella and two loungers for the duration of the stay—similar to what Le Dune provides—would be a welcome addition. When you’re already paying a premium to stay at the hotel, it’s a bit disappointing to have to pay extra each day for an umbrella and loungers. Including these as part of the room rate would add great value and make the overall experience even better.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend Conchiglia Azzurra, especially if this small improvement were considered."
"The breakfast was excellent, and the couple running the place were incredibly friendly. They also gave a great dinner recommendation. The beach is just a short walk away, and the location is peaceful with plenty of parking."
"Room was immaculate, staff very helpful and friendly, breakfast was ok , did the job . fantastic location . Don’t pay for parking if you hire a car , plenty of spaces on road"
"The place was clean, and the ocean view from the balcony was beautiful. It’s a calm town, and the restaurant is just a five-minute walk away. Everyone is friendly, and the food is amazing. It’s way better than other places nearby, and the price is great. The amazing view makes it a must-visit. I’ll definitely go back and strongly recommend it."
