This hotel was booked for us via our agent. It was important to us that we had the experience of staying in a cave. Welcome - very pleasant staff and cases were taken to room for us. We felt we could have had a better explanation as to the facilities and how to use them (see lower down). Room - very nice, however we prefer a little more privacy when using the toilet. There was a sliding door that was tinted but still you could still see clearly through it. Bed was a little hard but expected as mattress was on a slab of stone. Hair drying facilities and sockets good. Very clean. Regiacorte Restaurant - As we were only staying a couple of nights, we decided to book the restaurant on both evenings. It was very busy and we could only get 9 pm on the first evening and 8.30 pm on the second. We arrived half an hour early on the first evening and thought we would be able to have a drink at the bar. It was all a bit confusing as the waiters spoke little english and did not really understand what we were asking. We were directed to a table and eventually served a drink. At 9 pm we had still not been directed to our table, so we went up to the next platform to ask staff. Also, although lovely to have a view, it was getting a little chilly. We got the impression that were expected to stay where we were, which was not comfortable. We asked to be sitting either inside or at the top, where there were some free tables and it was warmer (we found out the next day that they had a large eating area inside). We were abruptly taken inside by the head waiter and left standing by a table, in the wine cellar, with one chair. We stood for a while, feeling very embarrassed as there was only one table being used in there by a group. We decided to leave and walk outside, where we were followed and seated. We finally ate at around 10 pm. The food was good, apart from my husband's starter which looked thrown together. We did not believe it was value for money. In our opinion we could only see three staff working and they seemed overwhelmed. Due to our experience, we cancelled our booking for the next day. Breakfast - there was a lot of choice. We have been to a lot of very nice hotels. We felt that this one was not equipped to offer the standard they promised and was quit pretentious. Such a shame.
