I was a guest of the Hotel Strand from 23 May to 27 May 2023, on the occasion of my first holiday "tranche" in the town of Igea Marina, a town that I have been frequenting for thirty years now; this year, after more than ten years, I decided to change my accommodation structure. The 3-star superior hotel is located at the edge of the city's pedestrian centre, directly on the beach, on Viale Pinzon; Built in the 1950s, compared to most of the Igeia structures, it has undergone continuous and constant updating over the years which has brought it in line with the most current needs of guests. On the outside it presents clean and essential lines, an airy entrance veranda for conversation and a small raised dehors that allows connection to the rear terrace, used for second breakfasts and lunches.

Due to management choices, despite the incipient summer heat, the air conditioning was turned off when the room was hot, especially in the evening. The room I booked was fro
