10/03/2026: We just returned from our experience at Popilia this weekend (March 7-8).
We had a SPA dinner and an overnight stay...
Let's start with the positives, and it's not to be underestimated, as there were many.
Starting with the breathtaking walkway, the very well-maintained facility, and in fact, the aesthetics of the interior and exterior would have been five stars for me...
After the two-hour spa, I must unfortunately say that was one of the sore points... The spa was certainly well done, but not completely... Let me explain...
The pool area is very narrow, and the thing that bothered us was that there were too many people in an otherwise fairly small facility, but let's move on...
Dinner after the spa and breakfast the next day were average, with certainly affordable prices. A special mention goes to the first courses at the on-site restaurant, where I really enjoyed the small plate I ordered with squid ink.
As for the breakfast, it was adequate but lacking in choice, and above all, I was annoyed to see that, for example, we had to make our own cappuccino using the machine provided. If a guest comes and sleeps overnight at the hotel, breakfast should be a very important matter, with meticulous attention to detail.
Let's move on to the negatives (besides the spa), which prompted us to give it 3 stars.
After dinner, unfortunately, there was nothing to do, no games room or anything to entertain ourselves, and it's a shame, as the place is located on a hill, making it difficult to get around in the evening. I understand the need for tranquility, but perhaps for younger guests, having a recreational/play area for the evening (such as a games room) would have been helpful. This is more of a recommendation than a criticism.
The outdoor areas are very nice, but even there, it's a bit lacking because you can get bored after a while, as the entire place can be explored in about an hour. It's true that there are activities, including tennis, soccer, and a fitness area, but I repeat, at least on weekends, there should be something recreational after dinner. It's certainly not disruptive or invasive, but at least for those who want to spend the evening/night, it could be a good idea.
The rooms were excellent, very clean, and the temperature was comfortable. The overall price was affordable. Overall, an experience worth repeating. I'd like to point out that these aren't criticisms, but rather recommendations.
07/03/2026: A little off the beaten path but we'll worth staying there. Excellent views
