Resort Tenuta Primero

It’s a tired resort. But I’m writing this at 20 pat midnight with a loud band blaring out from somewhere nearby for the second night running. I phoned reception but there is nothing they can do … The accommodation is overpriced, the beach has nice sand and is good for dog walking but not families. The pool bar is nice, but food expensive. I honestly would not recommend anyone stay here, unless you’re desperate to waste money and sleep badly. The “kite bar” is pleasant and the staff are friendly, but that doesn’t make up for the rest of the experience. We also had a week in Croatia at a resort, and it was in a totally different league to this. Tentu Primero … not so primero.

it has been a great time - great service, friendly team at the reception, the cleaning and the staff at the restaurant. helpful with all questions. the bungalow was extremely well kept - daily water, espresso. cleaning perfect. bikes kept in good shape, was able to load my electric car. pool and music very professional

We used to come to Tenuta Primero back when it was a Camping, and stopped going since our family grew and we were no longer attracted to that type of holiday. We recently found out that Tenuta Primero was being completely refurbished into a hotel/resort, and so, as soon as it was possible we gave it a shot. We couldn't believe our eyes. The idea to spread only 135 individual cottages and bungalows over such an enormous area, made us feel safe and special, as all services offered are now in line with the standars of international luxury chains. We were given free bicycles in order to move around the resort, which we explored in every corner. The proximity to the lagoon and to the national park led us to extraordindary encounters: swans, flamingos, falcons and all sorts of avionic species. The breakfast has breathtaking views over the Gulf of Triest, and is of a very high standard. At night the Restaurant, with the same views, offers an awesome selection of dishes, whcih are beautifully prepared. The bistrot at the pool was the highlight for our kids. They loved eating their spaghetti vongole in their bathing suits, despite the weather was not too generous with us. The beach was perfect for morning walks. We even had a golf class, but I guess that we need several more before hitting that ball ;) The concierge service was absolutely lovely and organized our daily visits to various sites, including the Venica&Venica Vineyard, and a helicopter tour of the lagoon. All Covid measures were taken very seriously and we felt safe at all times, also thanks to the fact that the resort is mostly "outdoors". We will definitely come again, and recommend this hidden gem to anyone who wants to switch off for some time and recharge batteries. Oh yes, little advise, bring mosquito spray. Being in the lagoon comes with its benefits but also with its "inhabitants". KUDOS to the whole Tenuta Primero Team. We will be back!
