Loved it during the first part of June. Too crowded in July and August. Posia is the best and only 5Star in town on the beach. The small gym room needs upgrading. One treadmill that wasn't working. The room service was the best meals we had all week and not much pricier than a nice restaurant in town. Will definitely come back.

Great hotel room and very spacious. The downstairs pool was chilly and overlooked though pleasant to sit by. Food and drink particularly breakfast was excellent. The breakfast is made to order with an additional buffet table. Gym was a litle basic with dumbells up to 14kg only. Overall highly recommended.

6/10 Good

The Posia is address the street from the Ocean so the view is beautiful but the town of San Foca has limited activities and dining despite the potential it is lacking in many ways. The hotel is average some of the staff is spacey. The valet/bellhop recommended a restaurant which was a sort of scam so beware of recommendations. The hotel charges for everything from beach towels, chairs, parking and you have to reserve a chair at a small pool. The pool is misleading from website. The pools are small . The hotel also scheduled a photo shoot the day we were leaving and the staff prioritized that over their customers. I feel like this hotel is average I would not recommend it. The beach is a walk and you have to pay for parking. The spa is in the basement and the gym is like a dungeon I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. It’s not worthy it.

This stay was to be the highlight of our Italian vacation. The breakfast was made to order and delicious, the rooms were large and there were 2 pools. The day spa with thr heated pool was divine. There were some areas that were disappointing. Firstly the beds were very uncomfortable, the mattress was too firm and felt quite thin. The rooftop pool was allegedly "heated" but it was consistently freezing. I chose this hotel for the pool and proximity to the beach, however the pools were too cold. Despite being so close to the local beach, the hotel did not offer any beach chairs for their guests. Lastly, my son's bed was not made up upon arrival and they consistently only provided 2 instead of 3 towels which was inconvenient. Im glad we decided against the deluxe room with the private plunge pools as those rooms were in a basement level and didnt get any direct sunlight. Happy hour was for tea with some snacks but wines were not discounted. For the price of the hotel, i did expect a wider range of amenities for guests - such as daily bottles of water at the very least. The housekeeping and breakfast staff were very lovely. The breakfast chefs were very talented with delicious pastries.

Went as a family of 5 (10, 5, 3) and had a great time! Service was incredible! My wife said the massage was one of the best. Francesco was so helpful and made us feel like family. The food was delicious too. The pools were nice but we felt like we were pretty loud and didn’t want to disturb the more zen like environment- but that’s on us for having kids! We didn’t go to the beach since we only stayed one night, but it seems nice. Overall a really nice place in a quaint beach town.

O café da manhã é muito bom, no entanto, é apenas sob pedido. Apresentam um cardápio com várias escolhas, todas de excelente qualidade, mas foge do habitual. Recomendo o salmão defumado pois estava excelente. Fatia generosa e não muito picante. Os três atendentes muito atenciosos e sempre sorridentes, Emma e Guisy são divertidíssimas

Ne vaut pas un 5 étoiles

Bel établissement mais ne vaut pas 5 étoiles. Même pas une bouteille d’eau de courtoisie. Eco _responsabilité moyenne car impossible de boucher le lavabo. Il faut laisser couler l’eau non stop. Chambres modernes avec balcon mais vue pas terrible. Bon petit-déjeuner avec du choix et des produits frais. Restaurant avec des prix un peu élevés.

Wir waren spontan für zwei Nächte dort und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Wunderschönes Hotel an der Strandpromenade. Sehr nettes Personal und das Essen war ein Traum! Die 5 Sterne sind mehr als verdient! Wir werden bestimmt nochmals kommen!
