La Gioconda Boutique Hotel

Luxurious villa style hotel, the only downside is that it’s very expensive.

Beautiful view to the sea from the gardens! The garden is the perfect spot to enjoy the morning cappuccino.

Beautiful property

Very small hotel and very strange rooms layout. No elevators so walking up and down 3 sets of stairs gets tiring. Location far from city center and no access to beach, is it a resort or a hideaway? No live activities, no bar, no restaurants nearby or lounges, pure dead even I was there at the summer peak. I was given a room of lower category of what I booked on Expedia but as I insisted on them they gave me the room I wanted. Staff are fresh young and inexperienced. I was asked if I could be offered a coffee thinking they were being nice and offering courtesy service but they charged me for the coffee on check out. I had an issue of mistaken date of arrival and Expedia tried to call me and I talked to them by phone but they would never listen or support Expedia to correct this mistake. They just levied penalty charges although the hotels was empty.

Good

This entire La Gionconda Hotel experience was BEYOND EXCELLENT! What a wonderful experience to have stayed there with the beautiful property, the great service and attention to detail, and the great cuisine. There is no question as to where we will be staying the next time we return.

Das ist ein wirklich ausgezeichnet geführtes Hotel. Das Personal ist perfekt. Es liegt allerdings nicht im Zentrum, so dass man entweder eine halbe Stunde ins Zentrum laufen muss oder sich ein Taxi nimmt. Es liegt oberhalb des Meeres mit einem wunderbarem Blick. Allerdings muss man zum Meer auch etwa 10 Minuten Treppen herunter laufen.

Romantic italianate villa with beautiful view of the sea. Good restaurant. Pool is in shade from midday.

This was a lovely looking hotel near the beach. I had a nice room which was kept well cleaned by housekeeping. However, tourists beware: the hot buffet bar for breakfast was more accustomed to the old soviet style of sausages, potatoes and vegetables. If you wanted bacon and scramble eggs, then you had to pay. Every morning, my coffee would arrive after I had finished my breakfast. There was no complimentary water in the room after the first day. Despite it being over 25C outside, I was advised that I would have to buy the water from the mini bar if I wanted some. The hotel messed up on my bill and gave my colleague a discount for a further visit even though I paid the bills. The staff did not seem to be well trained especially in relation to the restaurant. I have no idea who the Manager or Owner of the hotel is or was as they never made the effort to make contact with me despite me paying a significant amount of money for my stay.

Its great. You walk down the stairs that go forever to the shore of the Black Sea and you can walk or jog for miles along the Black Sea. It was cold, about 35 degrees F in the morning. But it was all good. You can go up to the main street nearby in a 5 minute walk and there are great restaurants and "producti" stores for whatever you need.
