Hotel Grotta Palazzese

Stayed for 2 nights in one of the suites with a balcony and direct view of the water. Everything in the suite was clean and super comfortable. The staff were very accommodating. The included breakfast was delicious, and you are seated in the beautiful cave restaurant. They also have a shuttle that takes you to a private beach that is part of their other nearby hotel. The view itself was worth the money for the 2 night stay.

We had dinner at the restaurant. What a disappointment. The location is great but the food and service is very mediocre and terribly overpriced . The restaurant has a strange policy that requires that if one person at the party orders the fixed prix dinner, all need to order a fixed prix dinner - others cannot order a la carte. When it came pay the bill, we had extra bottles of water on the bill (at 10 E each) which we had to argue to get removed. Service and food were very poor. The environment is really neat but it the poor service and food does not make up for the unique setting. Very expensive and poor value.

Spend your money elsewhere! Food is so basic I can’t even give one star. The views are amazing, if you are willing to pay 400 euros for 2 people for a nice view then this is the right place, but please don’t go with high expectations for the meal you will have, is so low quality and the service very poor. They want you in and out, very impersonal, they are like little robots.

The views are great. The restaurant was way over priced. For 2 people and a bottle of wine it was 550 euros. The staff was nice, but our entrees were not good. Asked for steak medium and it was well done and the waiter put some horrible turkey gravy on it and there was no flavor. Apps and soups were good, but for that much $... don't waste your time. And the sea bass was small and not cooked! Save your $$$

We had an amazing stay at the Grotta Palazzese. We had an incredible room with a sea view. The bed was very comfortable and the room itself was very upscale. Of course we had dinner at the restaurant inside the cave. It was a memory that we will never forget. We can cross it off the bucket list. The restaurant was as gorgeous as expected. The food was delicious also. The view of course is unbeatable. Although it was very costly staying at the hotel and eating at the restaurant, it is worth it. It is that good. Many thanks to Roberto, Enza, and Ilenia for making our stay perfect and unforgettable.

This hotel has beautiful rooms but you pay the price Location is great Breakfast is wonderful Not many amenities at hotel no cafes no bars Don’t expect to sleep before midnight as the outdoor restaurant plays music and can be heard loudly in your room Roberto and Ariana very friendly and happy to help Enza and Fortuna very rude ! The rooms have iPads that control the AC the lighting and the drapes etc Very hard to operate and gets very frustrating Overall overpriced for what you get
