Find Hotels in Caldana

We visited Il Pelegone last week and found it generally tired and not ready for a large number of guests. The large pool is closed as it's being completely rebuilt, the pool bar was open on the last day we were there but surrounded by hoarding so not very inviting. The rooms are generally tired and need a revamp. The kitchen area has tea and coffee making facilities but not tea or coffee and despite there being a kitchenette. For a 4 star property, I'd expect there to be tea and coffee in the room. There was no sink bar the one in the bathroom next door and despite there being no in kitchen washing up facilities, our items were never cleaned during the daily clean by the team onsite. The food at the restaurant was nice but on most of our orders, something was missed off the order, from drinks to food, to both. Staff generally seemed very hurried in the restaurant despite most of the time it being quite quiet on the customer front. The beach was lovely but the advertised shuttle bus wasn't running and it is 50euros one way by cab. They also offer beach towels but only if you ask at reception specifically for them and you need to sign them out - it's one beach towel pp per stay. I didn't travel to play golf so can't comment on that.

We stayed at L'Andana for 4 nights with two small children. At the outset, the location is stunning, set in a large vineyard perfect for long walks. Sunset from the entrance of the property is particularly spectacular. The cantina produces good wine which we enjoyed with many meals. The room was spacious and comfortable and housekeeping was attentive. Staff were helpful with recommendations and answering queries. The attention to detail for the children was unparalleled. The room had been set up with a crib and toddler bed with a bedrail (which they had included even when we hadn't requested it), and baby gates at the top and bottom of the stairs. They found baby wipes for us when we'd run out (and after all of the pharmacies and stores had closed), as well as a sterilizer for baby bottles. They were kind and patient with our toddler, even in his moments of less-than-stellar behaviour! My son enjoyed the Kids' Club in large part due to Nina's kind care. The one small downside was the food and beverage service. Food was generally expensive (the price point is to be expected from a luxury hotel). With children with early bedtimes and mid-day naps, we ate frequently in the room, and found the room service somewhat uneven (sometimes bread would arrive, sometimes it wouldn't). Some meals were very good, while others were disappointing (two plates of cacio e pepe pasta arrived cold, one avocado/salmon sandwich was particularly poor). What was surprising were hidden surcharges that we hadn't expected: we were told there was a 20 Euro delivery charge from the on-site restaurant to the rooms; my son was offered a plate of pancakes at breakfast and we were then given a bill for 10 Euro as it was not included in the breakfast menu. Overall, a wonderful resort to which we would be happy to return, perhaps when we are able to explore more dining options outside the property.
