We loved the architecture and setting of La Cocumella and its history from the late 1500s. We enjoyed the pool and beach area a couple of times during our 8 night stay, although it was early in the season. The gardens are lovely and serene and we enjoyed that oasis of calm.
The breakfasts were amazing — everything from fresh fruits, freshly baked pastries, cheeses and meats/fish, cereals, yogurts, and a cooking station where eggs were cooked on demand. It was probably the best breakfast buffet I’ve ever seen.
We ate in the pretty dining room on our first night and enjoyed it immensely. We were also thrilled with the female saxophone player who played during dinner- a lovely touch!
Giuseppe, the concierge, who has been working there for 30 years was outstanding and very helpful throughout our stay. The hotel is 2 km from downtown.
My only less positive comments were in contrast to other five star resorts. 1) Bottled water was provided in our room on our first night only. After that we had to order it from the bar for 5 euros. This is in contrast to every other 5 star resort we stayed in that supplied bottled water every day. I think this is a minimum expectation to provide drinking water for guests.
2) the carpet runners in the upstairs halls (we were on the 2nd floor) were looking a little weathered and in need of replacement. Once again - just a minor observation that we both made but given this is a well known, historic hotel, it brought our overall rating just a touch
