Bed and Breakfast in Stintino

"The place was just as described, clean, practical, and well-equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach, which was just a short walk away. The location couldn’t have been better. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Highly recommend for a peaceful and convenient beach getaway!"

"Nice staff, parking available on site"

"Nice room, good service. Lots of choices for breakfast. The shuttle to the beach is an add bonus but you can also walk to the beach."

"This is a great hotel. One issue was trying to get a coffee at breakfast, we ordered four times from three different servers and 25 minutes later after we finished breakfast…."

"Loved the pool"

"Our stay at Club Esse Sporting was disappointing. We got back both nights after 9PM, so there was no point complaining, but we found dirty sheets on arrival. Thankfully, the cleaning ladies noticed and changed them the next day. There were plumbing issues. The toilet didn’t flush, there was a bad smell, and all the water went into the shower. Breakfast was confusing. Nobody told us you can’t just sit anywhere, so we got yelled at in front of everyone for choosing the wrong table. Four coffee machines, none working properly, and the worst coffee I’ve had in Italy. You even have to carry a TV remote from reception. Do people really steal those? Not worth it, I do not recommend! "

"While the property is in a great location right at the centre of Stintino, it requires major improvements. It is listed as bed and breakfast, but it does not offer breakfast, neither does it offer a place where you can make yourself a tea or coffee, in or outside the room. You have to go the bar next door which charged different prices for the same items in different days. The room was clean, despite the smell of pipes and chemicals. It was probably cleaned with bleach, which was fine for us, but left a strong smell throughout the stay. We could not leave the window widely open to protect our privacy as it was facing the street and the room was small so air could not circulate much. The decoration of the room was basic and clearly repurposed, and lacked appropriate maintenance: old hangers, small old wall mirror, towels. There were rusty bits in many of the items, and the towels were stained and got smelly after the first use. Sound insulation internal to the property is not appropriate. We could hear everything from the corridor and nearby rooms: toilets flushing, showers, conversations etc, meaning that we felt our privacy was also affected. Overall our stay was far from being pleasant and relaxing and although we appreciated the good location, we did not feel it was good value for money. "

In summary, villa is poorly maintained and kitchen in particular is poorly equipped. Cinzia, our host was largely responsive but I am not sure how other guests have cooked for a family given the lack of equipment. "

"Consider renting one with AC during the summer, the heat can be difficult to handle. Also keep in mind that you will not have housekeeping unless you stay over 9 nights. There’s not a lot of flexibility on check in. Still, the place is a corner of paradise, beautiful!"
