The main advantages of the hotel:
1. A full-fledged pool (compared to other hotels in this area) with the possibility of hydromassage on almost all parts of the body, and you can swim in it in any season. In bad weather, you can make it closed, and by yourself. The pool is heated, so swimming is guaranteed in any season.
2. The hotel has a wonderful Spa. Free Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, contrast shower with mint, relaxation room with samovars. Other services are paid. Massages of different parts of the body 40-60 euros. Other spa treatments from 50 to 100 euros.
3. Free Wi-fi throughout the hotel.
4. A modest but rather pleasant atmosphere in the hotel lobby, the layout of the hotel is good, the lobby is in white and pink-lilac soothing colors with an unusual design.

The food is good, especially dinner, but there are comments.

Seafood is not always sufficiently salted; spices, onions, garlic are not used; tomatoes are green, fruits are sour (but in the room for two days they ripen and you can eat). The meat is often tough and burnt. Many dishes are grilled, but again, pure meat or fish, it's good if they are salted normally and not burnt. However, there is always an alternative, ate enough.

The first days of rest in the hotel there were a lot of elderly Italians and there was noise from them! The old people seem to be deaf, there was such a buzz in the restaurant as at school at recess! And when they left, it became much quieter, even boring, and the smiles of the Italians were replaced by the dull faces of their compatriots.

The rooms in the hotel are different, repairs are made everywhere, but somewhere excellent, and we got a room with normal cosmetic repairs, but old furniture and windows and doors. The door to the room is locked and the upholstery is like in Soviet times with shabby leatherette.
The shower cabin barely closes, the shower is bolted high to the wall, you can’t take it off. Spray from him fly far. The room is small but has a large balcony. I liked the blind blinds outside, they create protection not only from light, but also from noise. The air conditioning worked great, there are 3 modes.
From the balcony there is a beautiful view of the sea and the street on one side and on the houses and mountains (and on San Marino) on the other side.
Cleaned well, every day.

There is no entertainment in the evening at the hotel, for two weeks the ensemble came 1 time, they played and sang Italian songs, another time an aperitif in the garden - champagne, local brew and small snacks, a buffet table.

The hotel staff is courteous, but not very friendly to Russians (I think because of the language, they do not understand us well). Of the Russian speakers, Katerina is a nice girl, but you need to ask for information. They will tell you very little. The guide also gave little information and lied more.
The beach on the sea was paid for us, but there are tourists of this hotel who have beach services included in the price of the tour.


How many hotels I visited, my choice always corresponded to what I saw in advertising and found out on the Internet. Arriving at Touring 4 *, there was a feeling that what was in the picture and in the advertisement was not for us, but for tourists from other countries, and the Russians from this hotel were the cheapest and worst. I paid money for a beautiful room and a free beach, as advertised. In general, the feeling from Italy is that at every step they want to cheat you. Yes, the country is beautiful, there is something to see, but here you need to keep your eyes open, because branded items in boutiques sell Made in China.

I do not know whether to recommend this hotel or not, but it is definitely good enough for a holiday in any season. In my opinion, those hotels that were nearby, many are much worse!
Ours has underground parking, the rest of the cars are right under the windows in a very small area, and there are either no pools, or they are so tiny and located right by the road. There have never been people around them, it’s a shame to see such people and get into them (maybe they are for dogs? ). By the way, many hotels accept tourists with dogs, Touring 4 * too.

I think this hotel can be chosen for a great pool and spa, free internet and a beautiful view from the balcony! ! ! And close your eyes to everything else! If you have not been to Croatia and Cyprus, then you will like the food.
