"We reserved parking which was next to the hotel. Breakfast was fresh European style. The king sized bed was huge- they put 2 twins together. Nice hotel. The elevator is really small it fit 2 people with 2 large pieces of luggage and that’s it. Staff very helpful. Would stay there again."

"Lovely hotel , clean and tidy with a beautiful pool and outside area. Breakfast only served but always got something to eat each morning. Rooms cleaned every day which was lovely. Staff very friendly and located close to beach. If I was to return car required as a bit too far to walk to shops etc but hotel does offer a shuttle service which is reasonably priced"

Versilia Lido | UNA Esperienze

Versilia Lido | UNA Esperienze

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely stay at Versilia Lido UNA Esperienze for 5 nights! The property is spacious and has a relaxed resort atmosphere. We were kindly upgraded to a large one bedroom apartment with a dining area balcony, which gave us plenty of space and we cooked in the apartment almost 5 nights stayed. One feature we really appreciated was the in room washing machine with a built-in dryer. When you are travelling for a longer period, having laundry facilities inside the apartment is incredibly convenient and makes a big difference. The staff were one of the strongest points of the hotel. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful, and Federica at the front desk deserves a special mention. She was warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming, and made us feel very well looked after from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was also very good, with fresh juices, a generous selection and plenty of healthier options. It felt fresh, well organized and more varied than many hotel breakfasts we experienced during our trip. The location is particularly convenient if you are travelling by car. Free parking is available within the resort, and there is a large supermarket only about four minutes away by car. Since our apartment included a kitchen, we appreciated being able to buy fresh ingredients and prepare some meals ourselves. Overall, the hotel feels bright, sunny and easygoing, with a friendly atmosphere that makes it enjoyable to return to at the end of the day."

"staff at reception not too informative. At the time of my stay the pool access was restricted to entry via shower. So in theory it was not possible to leave your belongings on the pool side unless getting wet. Crafty guests would remove the restricting barrier and enter the pool side. Same goes for apparently compulsory swimming cap that needs to be purchased at the reception for 4 Euro. As pool is unattended and unchecked anybody can get in without the cap."
