Top 10 Al Forte Hotels

I prefix this by saying that we were setup in one of the room of the annex so it’s possible the experience would be different in the main villa. We were traveling with a 5y old so we asked for a room with an additional bed. We were setup in an room in the annex that has an additional bed on a mezzanine. Since our kid is not used to that, i ended up taking that bed. We also noticed the main bed had a very worn out matress that was bending in the middle so we couldnt have all slept in it without squishing the kid. We asked to be moved but were told there was no availability. We were pretty tired so tried to lay down and relax but there were constructions going in a building very close by so no luck. At night, we heard people having an argument right outside the doors of the room. It went for long enough that i decided to step out of bed and down from the mezzanine in my underwear to ask the folks to chill and when i got out i realized it was personnel from the hotel kitchen, which is right by the annex. This is when i decided to cut the stay to only that night and booked something else. The breakfast was good and the staff in the cafeteria was nice and helpful. At the lobby, when i said i was going to checkout early, they said they would still have to charge me the second day (which i already accepted it was going to be the case) and charged me for the stay tax, which i frankly found funny. All in all, its possible that if you stay in the main villa you will have a great experience but at minimum i’d advise to stay clear of the rooms in thr annex, especially if you need quiet

Our family and dog stayed at the lodge for 1 night. The property is absolutely beautiful and the pictures you see are a true representation of the property. In fact I would say the property is even better in the ”flesh”. The team running the lodge were super friendly, efficient and welcoming and even provided a dog bed for us :) The food was superb and locally sourced. One of our best stays in a wonderful welcoming and friendly environment. The room and hotel were also incredibly clean. The view from our balcony was breathtakingly stunning! We can't wait to return to this fabulous lodge/hotel.

Such a lovely boutique property. I arrived around noon from an international flight and my room was ready and I was able to get in early, shower and take a nap! The hosts were very helpful and knowledgeable. Finding the hotel was a challenge though. It only has a small address / sign next to its door. I walked in circles for a bit before finally finding it. But given it is off the beaten path, it was very quiet!
