Hotel la Lucertola

To start, upon arrival, the concierge forgot to return our passport and asked us to go to floor T. if we hadn’t asked, he wouldn’t have then scanned the passport and return it back to us. Upon entering the room, we realized it was a sealed unit. there was no window and the lights were dim. we are very discouraged in staying in. the location wasn’t the best either, it was in the middle between the pier and the town, which makes it difficult to get to either way. at the day of the check out, we were expecting to check out at the 11:30am as that was the instruction on trip.com, it just so happened that the elevator was broken, so we called for a later check out. It wasn’t until the call the lady at the concierge told me that the check out was at 11, despite trying to reason with her and let her know that wasn’t what we anticipated, she said 11 and asked us to hurry. we then of course had to pack our things and be on our way. by the way, the price of this hotel was nearly 200usd per night. for this price, I wouldn’t have expected poor concierge service and a mouldy hotel room. I wouldn’t recommend this place for anyone, there are a lot better choice for this price in AirBnB.

Fine if you have a car This is going to be difficult to rate but here goes. Arrived by train and walked down to the hotel. There was a couple of long flights of steps that take you between apartment blocks and ended up by the hotel. I think a mapping app suggested it’s about 60m down from the town. The station is higher but there’s a public lift to help. The hotel is right on the cliff front and I had a sea view (note the port view to the left). As this was out of full season the bar and restaurant were shut (breakfast only). So had to go out to eat. Found a nice restaurant not too far away, but any idea of getting back to the station to explore (which was the plan) was daunting due to the climb or an expensive taxi ride. This felt like I was trapped with no option but get out to be able to do anything. Couldn’t even stay in and relax with drink or meal. If you’re travelling by car this is probably fine, but when using the train it wasn’t suitable so unfortunately decided to leave early and move on.

Cute hotel with a great staff! Perfect home base to experience Vietri! Thank you!
