일 팔멘토 호텔 렐라이스

Firstly I cannot fault or find issue with the hotel, it’s stunning, nestled in the hills, quiet, secluded, spacious rooms, clean, helpful and friendly staff and lovely views. So I would like to give that all the stars possible… I have to also give a special mention in the dining experience, which was like something out of a romance novel. Eating dinner surrounded by ancient olive trees and under grape vines while was quite special and a super experience. However, and here is the bits that I think I found a bit jarring and did take the shine off a perfect visit…. We have come in the hottest part of the year, 30 degrees + every day. The air con (which is quite important in my view) is just not up to cooling the rooms. So be prepared to sweat and feel uncomfortable. The service around the pool is slow, but it’s not the staff that are the issue, just the distance they have to walk to put the order in. So if you are hungry or want to order drinks be prepared to wait. There are a lot of mosquitoes around and talking to other guests, quite a few got bitten. If (like us) you are not driving yourselves around, taxis are expensive, even to get to the nearest town, so we ended up weighing cost vs outings a lot of the time. Also, the complimentary coffee provided at breakfast (that is in the large metal cafeterias) is awful and I would suggest asking the breakfast staff be to make you some. Anyway hope that helps!

Our second visit to this hotel, the previous occasion being 5 years ago. Situated in the countryside about 5 miles from the nearest towns on a quiet country road making it the perfect tranquil location. The rooms consisting of a series of modern Truli buildings across the immaculate grounds, we were near the pool and a few minutes walk from the restaurant and reception. However on this occasion our stay was a little disappointing. Firstly when we went into our room (15) we noticed the bed cover was torn around the bottom. My wife decided to have a bath before going to dinner but unfortunately there was no bath plug ! So whilst my wife had a shower I had a look around the room and noted that the coat hanger next to the entrance door was hanging off the wall and loose. Going into the bathroom the towel rail by the sink was also hanging off. The hotel staff were helpful and found a bath plug the next day. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day. The breakfasts were quite good on the whole but there was no fresh orange juice during our stay. Evening meals with the half board arrangement had a very limited menu that changed only twice all week. The starters were basically the same every day and the main courses were just a variation on a theme . The English translation of the menu was not accurate and on one occasion was totally wrong which caused a huge fuss in the kitchen. The main courses were often served with no salad or veg, just a piece of fish or meat and not much more. I understand the hotel has changed hands in recent years but there are signs of costs being cut in certain areas, i.e. room maintenance and meals. However these are areas that shouldn't be skimped on and it took the edge off our stay this time. We have done the whole area now and the hotel is well situated to do so but we are unlikely to return again.

This is nota 5stars hotel.the place is nice.good location.but…at breakfast you have to drink form plastic cups ….the breakfast is only average…..the rooms are nice but vey simple.the bathroom is very small ,the shower is very simple,no conditioner or body cream ecc….5stars hotel??? They had a party and we had to escape from the place,because people were sitting on our front door….not what we expected

We made a one week reservation from April 5th, directly with the hotel. Ten days before arrival the hotel notified us they have to move us to another hotel for the first 2 days. It turned out, from a mail exchange, that the place is much cheaper, no half board plan and there are stairs inside. We turned down this offer but asked for renewed confirmation for the 5 remaking days. Il palmetto’s response was they are cancelling our reservation . An outrage and totally uncalled for and unacceptable! I can supply the evidence from the mail exchange between us.

Vor den Toren von Locoronto relativ abgelegenen tolles Hotel. Google findet einfach hin. Originell wohnt man in einem gut ausgestatteten Trulli. Swimmingpool, auch einen zusätzlichen für kleine Kinder gibt es . Guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge. Locorotondo ist ein schöner Ort mit vielen Restaurants und schnell zu erreichen, ebenso Martina Franca. Restaurant gibt es auch, Frühstück ist okay, aber nicht mehr. Auf dem Zimmer gibt.leider kein vernünftiges Glas zum trinken, ein Weinglas gab es nicht einmal auf Nachfrage. Es kann nicht alles perfekt sein! Sonst perfekt.

Die abgelegene Hotelanlage besteht aus einzelnen Trulli, einem Restaurant-Trullo und einer schönen Pool-Anlage. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, z.B. wurde unser Klimagerät noch abends gegen 21 h repariert. Die Anlage wird gepflegt. Es ist genügend Platz für alle Bewohner. Wir waren die letzte Augustwoche dort. Wir wohnten im einem historischen Trullo. Dieser ist recht schlicht und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Fünf Sterne hat dieses Hotel definitiv nicht verdient. Dazu war die Klimatechnik zu bescheiden und zu laut, das Frühstück zu einfach. Besonders enttäuschend war das einzige Restaurant. Sehr kleine Menükarte, dafür recht teuer und teilweise schlecht. Wir haben fünfmal dort gegessen; einmal mussten wir das Hauptgericht zurückgehen lassen, nach einer "Nachbesserung" war es dann noch schlechter. So sind wir an dem Abend hungrig zu Bett gegangen. Das Hauptproblem: Das Hotel ist auch eine Event Location für externe Gäste. Wir haben an sieben Abenden dreimal dröhnende Bässe bis nach Mitternacht erlebt. Das ist nur für hartgesottene Gäste erträglich. Denn sonst ist es hier sehr ruhig und angenehm. Nach einer Beschwerde haben wir einen Preisnachlass und ein kostenloses Dinner erhalten. Hier war auf einmal die Küche exzellent mit wunderbaren Antipasti, die nicht auf der Karte standen. Das Gesamturteil ist also zwiespältig. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für 4 Sterne ok. Lärm nicht ok.
