Piccolo Hotel

We have stayed on our trip through Italy one night in hotel Piccolo. We were surprised by the warm atmosphere of the hotel and the good service. The hotel is situated near the coast. The rooms are decorated very cosy. In the front of the hotel there is a very nice terras where you can enyoy a drink. Breakfast was very good. We planned to stay there for two nights. The weather however was to bad therefore we only stayed one night. Unfortunately we did not book for the dinner. We talked with a couple from Germany and they told us that next to the atmosphere the quality of the dinner was a reason for them to book the hotel. With pain in our heart we left this hotel one day earlier as planned.

We stayed at this hotel at the end of the season (it closes the first october sunday). It is a family hotel. Mrs Maria, the owner, takes care of it as of her private house. And she knows a lot about Castiglione's history, so talking to her was a pleasure. It's a 3 star offering more than an average 3 star hotel. The bathroom is new and incredibly clean and well furnished (just to mention one: we found massage oil and several different bath foams). The common areas are comfortable and very nice. The breakfast was excellent, the personnel incredibly nice and helpful. The breakfast room was welcoming. The position is very good: close to the best beach in Catiglione, very quiet in the evening, but still at walking distance from the historical part of the village. A very nice 'veranda' surrounds the ground floor. They chose to have ceiling fans everywhere instead of AC. That was fine with us, because in september the air was fresh. I don't know if in the middle of the summer that could be a problem for someone. We would definitily go there again and recommend it to our best friends. We didn't try the restaurant, but we would like to do it next time.

We spent 3 nights in this hotel, located a few meters from the beach. The staff is very friendly, many of them speak English or French. Breakfast is excellent (self-service), there is plenty of choice. Rooms and bathroom are both very clean and comfortable. As we didn't have dinner there, I can't say anything about it. There is only one disadvantage: the webpage is only available in Italian. We would definitely stay there again.
