Fortezza Hotel

A great hotel nearby everything. Not perfect for families with small children for the pool is not for play. Kind people and fresh!

The hotel is really well-situated with lots of shops and restaurants within a few minutes' walk. The rooms are immaculately clean, and the staff are so friendly. Breakfast is lovely and fresh. Although the pool area is quite small, there are plenty of sun beds as well as shady places to relax. Would recommend to anyone looking for a stress-free break.

Just returned from our 3rd visit in as many years and had another great holiday. We got a front facing balcony room, as requested (bit smaller than the pool side ones but love people watching from balcony, and most of day in shade), and room was comfortable, large bed with good mattress, enough storage, excellent air con, and as always spotlessly clean. Decent sized fridge, kettle available from reception. Bathroom quite small, had everything required (except magnifying mirror), including mini bottles of shower wash and shampoo. Hotel grounds are very nice, plenty of areas for guests to sit including the pool area. Hotel was full and while there is not a huge amount of space for loungers around pool, there’s plenty of space a bit further back and loungers never run out. Pool towels are available at reception. At times it felt busy, but most people would be by the pool for a few hours at the time, only some would be there all day. Lots of guests who went to the beach, 15-20 minutes walk (the nearest beach does not allow swimming etc because it is protected to allow turtles to nest). Breakfast was as good as before, excellent selection including freshly baked cakes and savoury bites which varied daily. Plenty of fresh fruit, and yoghurt and feta cheese of course. Everything was restocked throughout breakfast time. We ate by the pool pretty much every day, available till 4pm, good quality and reasonably priced. Bar is open from after breakfast till 11pm. We previously stayed in September which on reflection we prefer - not quite as hot and humid, also guests were pretty much all older couples, which made for a quieter ambiance. This time more of a mix, with a few families and some younger people. The best thing about the hotel apart from its old town location and amenities are its lovely staff - everyone was very friendly, professional and it felt like a home from home. We’ll be back!
