Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We had a wonderful stay at this lovely family-run hotel. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the location is perfect—just a 5-minute walk from the beach. The rooms were spacious and very clean, and from the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The hosts picked us up from the train station and brought us back at the end of our stay, which was such a thoughtful touch. My partner and I truly enjoyed our time here, and we will definitely be coming back!”
“Everything here was great; the hotel is situated close to the beach, the room was big enough for two adults and two children, clean and comfy. Breakfast was delicious and you had a lot to choose from. The hotel staff at California is the best - very kind, friendly and helpful . I have spent a wonderful Time at this hotel and I recomand it with all my heart.”
“The owners are magnificent - extremely friendly, they provide a tremendous service at any time of the day in any matter - never seen anything better. And the breakfast is tremendous. If ever I am back in the area, I'll stay there again.”
“The place was great! The rooms spacious enough and cleaned daily! The food was divine ( the filled croissants make you fell like in heaven)and the personal exceptional! It’s a 5 min walk to the beach! We had several discounts from the hotel for the beach and for a restaurant near by, where the food and serving was great ( taking into consideration that we were a group of 11 adults and 12 kids . I will return there anytime!”
“Amazing stay! Service was excellent and very supportive. The location is calm and peaceful, surrounded by pine trees, with bikes available – riding through the forest was a real pleasure, and the beach is nearby. Breakfasts are unforgettable: the owner is a pastry chef, and the variety and quality of pastries (shortcrust & puff) are truly top level. As a dessert lover, I can say they deserve the highest compliments!”
“We’ve been there for 3 nights but I can say we felt amazing. Hotel looks very clean and also very nice organized. What was bad was that in the morning the maid came into the room without knocking. Just lucky we were sleeping and also we had our pijamas on”
