PortaVia In Isola del giglio

31/08/2024: Quiet village surrounded by the greenery of a splendid olive grove. Very clean two-room apartment (I underline very clean), perhaps the style of the furnishings is a little dated but that's fine. Equipped with sufficient kitchen utensils and air conditioning. The swimming pool is beautiful, suitable for everyone and very clean. Discreet but present animation, in line with our preference. Friendly and helpful staff. Convenient location to reach various locations. However, the use of a car is necessary to get around.

31/07/2024: Very nice facility, subtle animation. Staff very friendly. At one point the air conditioning went off. It was repaired by evening. Reception super friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and modern. This is our third time here. The only negative point is the restaurant, we experienced a deterioration here. Highly priced and the card was heavily discounted. Staff in the restaurant were very friendly (except Paolo the head waiter). Most of the time it still worked and we also gave good feedback. However, on the third evening the restaurant was half full. My wife's starter came with the first course, but my dish didn't. 10 mins. The pasta alle vongole tasted like nothing. When everyone got their food, I told my son that the pesto was out. I think something like that can be said earlier. When I paid, the head waiter asked me if everything was okay, so I took the liberty of giving feedback. In front of everyone, the head waiter called me Pingeli, I was looking for a fly in the ointment in Italian (il pelo nel l'uovo). The other employees were embarrassed and apologized for it. We also noticed that compared to previous years, most guests tended to eat out or at home in the Villetta. As I said, overall it was true, most of the dishes were okay and a convenient solution for us. But criticism is supposedly not welcome, even if we do it very objectively and don't complain about anything else. But this year things aren't quite right at the restaurant. All in all, the complex is good value for money with the exception of the restaurant. There are better places to eat.
