Our pick of the best Pontetetto Hotel Deals

Hotel Bologna
I booked one double room but the hotel upgraded me to two singles. Other things I liked were good breakfast, especially the croissant was excellent, shuttle bus service to the airport at reasonable price. Everything was above average and the hotel well worth a 4-star rating.

The hotel has a great location next to the beach and the room was clean, but outside of that, I did not enjoy my stay. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable which made it difficult to sleep. The gym and the pool were also closed during my stay, which was disappointing.
