A property that has seen better days but try's hard to make up for it. You can't walk to the beachfront unless you feel like walking a few km's. Good sized rooms with some modern touches but none of it rivals the website photos. She is dated and needs a bigger overhaul for the 4 star rating it claims, but... More

Lovely view, pleasant staff and good food. We enjoyed our stay. Better suited if you want the sporting facilities such as spas and massages. We were just overnight travelers and just used the bar, restaurant and breakfast. All good. Room small but had balcony. Pillows could be improved. Otherwise lovely. More

Our company uses this hotel regulalry for business, and my colleagues recommended it. We arrived late, and check in was fast and friendly. The staff get 5 stars. Parking not a problem. My room looked out the front and had a sea view, which was not much use in October. Shame.You also hear train noise in the night; well it... More

We stayed here for our honeymoon and what a great choice. The hotel was very peaceful and in a quiet location. The food in the restaurant was very good and not over priced. The mini bus to the beach was really good (free) as waere the sun beds an umberallas. We will be back for our anniversary. More

This was our third trip to the Villa Sporting and as enjoyable as the first, recent changes to the bar and outdoor dining area work well. A real place to relax –the only difficulty was choosing between the outdoor pool, spa or beach but you can do all in one day. We have never done half board but still dined... More

The hotel itself was ok - the room was spacious with a huge balcony (we had upgraded) but I'm afraid a really terrible meal in the restaurant completely spoilt our enjoyment. The hotel is positioned sufficiently far away that walking to any other restaurants is not possible, and as we were tired after a long drive we opted to eat... More

Stayed here now for the second time and had again a wonderful holiday. 2 tips: * bring more variation in the breakfast. * improve the quality of your restaurant: limited menu and too high priced for the offered quality. More

I stayed in Villa Maria for a week end which was supposed to be relaxing. I booked a room and a relaxing massage for me and my boyfriend (60 euros each) in the wellness centre. The hotel is nice, but walls are sooo thin you could also hear your neighbour snoring at night! Furthermore, the wellness centre is builded just... More

We have enjoyed our stay at Villa Maria very much. Our room was modern and comfortable, with a wonderful view at the Adriatic sea. The hotel is situated in a beautiful parc. We, especially our children, enjoyed the swimmingpool very much; it was ideally situated, half in the sun, half in the shadow of pine-trees. The restaurant of the hotel... More
