Villa Curina Resort

Good location. Clean. Convenient. Good value for money at this stay

What a lovely place! Great views out of every window. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. We stayed for 6 nights. The place is very quiet and welcoming. We hung out by the pool for 2 days and enjoyed great and attentive service from Stefano at the bar. Martina, at the front desk provided us with lots of information about the area. She was very good and answered all of our questions. Our stay included breakfast. 7:30-10 am and it was a Buffet with a variety of pastries and juices, scrambled eggs, bacon, yogurt etc. The Resort seemed to be popular with cyclists. We saw many arrive in the afternoons after cycling. The Restaurant on site is amazing and serves very fancy dishes. We only went there 2 nights as the food is fit for fine dining and not something our tummies could handle every night. The service at the restaurant was exceptional. The wine choices were extensive. The menu offers a good variety of fine choices. We really enjoyed every bite. We recommend the octopus, the Florentine steak for 2 and the chocolate mousse. Absolutely beautifully created and plated food. The Chef is a talent. Our only complaint would be that the Resort could have another dining option? But this Restaurant completely suits the Resort. They do offer snacks at the Bar which are delicious sandwiches and small margarita pizza. You could also drive into the towns nearby for a meal. Again, the views here are some of the best we’ve seen. It has been a dream holiday. Rooms are air conditioned. Lots of storage for your clothes and suitcases. Bathroom has a large shower , sink, toilet and bidet. I would suggest that they install a full length mirror in the room as it was hard to check out your entire outfit for the day.

I stayed one night at Villa Curina Resort, together with a group of friends, 10 people. I chose this place with great confidence and with high expectations, having some prior recommendations. From the moment we arrived, the staff who welcomed us had an inappropriate attitude. We asked them to serve us a glass of water, as it was very hot outside, and we were told that we have water in the rooms, for a fee. The place as a whole is very beautiful, well maintained, with a great view. The rooms are nicely decorated but not up to our expectations. The big disappointment was the dinner, where our expectations were really high. But the rule of the house is to order at least 2 dishes for each person. I very politely asked the restaurant staff if it is possible to make an exception to this rule, but I received an answer from the head of the restaurant (because the restaurant staff did not understand our request very well). We encountered a categorical refusal from the restaurant manager, a couple from the group explained to him that they did not want to eat 4 courses at dinner, and that if possible they would share only 2 courses. The refusal came even more aggressively, that they can go to the room if they don't order 2 dishes each. With wine an even more interesting story, he recommended us to take a 1.5 liter wine, and when we asked if we didn't like his recommendation, we could refuse this wine and try something else, he told us that we had to pay it. The conclusion was to get up from the table and go to the nearest town to have dinner at another restaurant, a decision that was very appropriate.
