Pools and Spa

The hotel features a stunning outdoor swimming pool carved into the landscape, offering panoramic views across the Gulf of Finale. It’s a fantastic spot to lounge on a sunbed and soak up the Italian sun. If you’re looking for a bit of extra pampering, the wellness area provides a tranquil space to unwind. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including specific massages, beauty treatments, and the sauna, may be subject to additional charges.

Beach

One of the most unique features of your stay is how you reach the coast. A private path and a scenic tunnel lead you directly from the hotel grounds down to the beach area. The sandy and pebbled shores of Finalmarina are just a short walk away, offering clear waters perfect for a morning dip.

Sport and Entertainment

If you like to stay active, you’re in one of Europe’s most famous spots for outdoor sports. The area is a hub for mountain biking and rock climbing, and the hotel can often help with advice on local trails. After a day of adventure, the atmosphere at the hotel shifts to a quiet, sophisticated evening vibe, perfect for a chilled glass of local Vermentino wine in the garden.

Family Amenities

Families are warmly welcomed with plenty of space for children to explore. Kids will love the outdoor pool and the easy access to the beach for building sandcastles. The hotel also provides highchairs in the restaurant and can arrange for cots in your room to ensure everyone gets a good night's sleep.
