Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea

The location and the view from my room . The Breakfast included in the price was very good. Also, the food and the service in the hotel's restaurant were very good.

The room was very small and so was the bathroom ( would not accommodate two people at the same time). At a cost of over 1000 euro per night I expected a better size room . The bonus for this room was meant to be the terrace . Indeed, the terrace was large with beautiful views , however the infestation of the mosquitoes and other flying insects made the terrace for the best part of the day unusable . Also, the same problem with the infestation existed at the bar area and restaurant in the afternoon and evenings . The management must take some actions to eradicate this problem - hence my low rating of this hotel .

Location, view, some of the staff (front desk, dining room and bar) were very friendly, beach attendants less so. The restaurant is ok not memorable thought despite the amazing location.

Overall it feels the property is in need of an update. If you pay 1,000 Euro per day your shower should be more then 3ft by 3ft.and have some decent water pressure and the mixing valves should work so it won't take 5 minutes to get to the shower temp you like. Not so sure about the pillows either (kinda thin and flat). The concierge was very nice, but why would she send me to a clothing store (Luna Chiara) to change money, where the owner was offering .75 Euros to the dollar when I got .92 at a bank? They also were eager to have us eat at Rosmarino which was just ok. Vineria Modi and Ristorante Le Naumacchie which we had reservations for were both way better.
