Grand Hotel La Chiusa di Chietri

This is a beautiful hotel, the rooms are really spacious with a balcony and mini fridge. the food in the restaurant is perfect and the waiters are really friendly. The bar has professional staff and this is really a very smart hotel, with beautiful grounds, swimming pool and spa plus Tuli houses to look at. I stayed here for a week and had a wonderful time and would really recommend it

This hotel is catering for more guests than it can cope with. Breakfast is like a rugby scrum with long queue for coffee. The bath is extremely small and this hotel is very remote. Wine prices are horrendous

This is a mass tourism hotel with coach loads from all over the globe descending. The staff are very friendly and efficient, rooms large and quiet but bath/shower rooms dated. Pillows were like bags of cement and beds similarly hard. Kitchen is very good and the dining room for non group guests very comfortable with excellent staff. Breakfast is a scramble with hot dishes cooling quickly on the buffet. The remote location calls for a car unless on a coach tour. One night is plenty to see the Trulli houses .

Nice hotel. Good rooms, great morning coffee. I really enjoyed the morning walks in the garden. ========== The pool is overpriced, ========== The service at the bar from Piero was amazing — his gin cellar recommendation was extremely good

I suspect this hotel is older than it appears at first sight. The bedrooms are good, well provided and comfortable and look modern but the en-suite looked so dated and depressing in a mauve coloured marble. We went with Titan and when you go with a travel company, you are not sure what the hotel has been asked to provide as opposed to an independent traveller but we had an “all inclusive” buffet for breakfast and dinner and whilst there was plenty of choice, the constant battle at the buffet is very wearing. Too many large parties hitting the chaffing dishes at the same time frequently resulted in shortages and whilst they were replaced, it all adds up to an exhausting meal. It is not helped by some people piling their plate with food and coming back for seconds as if they have not had a meal for week! No not for me – I hate this cattle feeding. The food was acceptable with the occasional tasty dish but it would have been very nice to go somewhere different to escape the noisy “canteen” type environment but as far as I could ascertain, there were no close restaurants, despite what the hotel says, and we were effectively very isolated. The staff friendly and helpful but again, the public areas seem dated. This hotel would be OK for a one night stay after a long flight in my view.
