Top 10 Il Guscio Hotels

The hotel is in a wonderful position but it has several defects that do not deserve four stars. - non drinkable water. When we arrived we were informed there was a problem with water and it was essential not to waste it. For this reason I asked if water was drinkable and they answered it was not and we had to buy our mineral water. I wonder, if I hadn’t asked would I have been left drinking non drinkable water? I travelled in over 100 countries and where ever water is not drinkable hotels give you water for free. - There is a swimming pool but it closes at 6.30 pm (in Summer!). Not only, we were told that we could not even swim in the sea in front of the hotel because there was no life guard!…. Of course we swam all the same. I guess that when you arrive at a hotel at Circeo at 6, you do want a nice swim. - Breakfast is typical old-style Italian, lots of sweets, a small dish of unattractive cheese and salami, no choice of cereals, juice out of a bottle (no fresh juice). Not a four-stars breakfast. - The bathroom has no shampoo or conditioner. The soap dispenser on the wash basin was very hard, I could get soap only squeezing with two hands and then of course I had no third hand to collect the coming soap… In conclusion not a great experience in a fabulous place.
