Il Portale In Parghelia

18/10/2023: It is very beautiful, many interesting plants, the staff are nice, everything is clean. Amazing panorama, hotel on the sea shore, very clear water where it is very nice to swim.

14/10/2023: The best thing about this hotel is its location, with the beach and sea a short walk away. Down at the beach there is a bar, plus deckchairs/parasols at no extra cost. The sea was lovely on our visit. Back up the hill, the pool area was stunning and you receive a welcome drink voucher to use at the pool bar, there’s a nice viewpoint for watching the sunset and breakfast was very good. The main issue was the accommodation, but realistically you probably aren’t going to spend too much time in it and for the price we paid it was tolerable. The bedroom and dining area were fine and noise overnight was not a problem so a good nights sleep was had. The biggest issue was the overall cleanliness of the bathrooms (we had two rooms and both bathrooms were the same) which was not up to standard, with black mould and other moulds present in numerous places. Clearly the bathrooms are only cleaned superficially between visits, with a lack of proper detailed cleaning. The bathrooms were overall acceptable in terms of the elements you would use being okay, but the overall feel of the bathrooms was grubby. I didn’t take photos of this, but I could have easily taken 4/5 photos of mouldy/grubby areas in each bathroom. I accept that we visited at the very end of the season, so it is possible that they may be deep-cleaned over the close-season and I imagine the rooms are used intensively and mistreated by guest. Overall a nice stay, at a good price.
