  : Nice location, very close to the beach. Cleaned everyday.
  : Parking is a nightmare, and the kitchinette is totally useless since the gas is off and there are absolutely no amenities to wash the dishes. The cleaning staff is instructed to not wash the dishes and we were told we can buy detergent nearby if we want to do it. Noisy neighbors, slamming doors and dragging chairs on the floor every few minutes from early morning until late in the night, and the hotel management failed to make them aware of the situation.

  : The staff was extremely helpful and everything was clean and in order. The apartment was in good condition and it was close to the beach. I highly recommend al Mare.

Disappointing

  : Location was great! We were near the beach, less than a minute of walk. We had sunbeds in the first row. Free parking was awesome - note that it is really crowded and parking in/out can be difficult for large vehicles. Also, Via Dante Alighieri (street that you need to drive 20m to get to the residence) closes for traffic from 20h - but, because you need to drive only 20m through it, we were able to get back home at 22h, or 00h without any issues with the police. XD Washing machine works well. Aircon is good. We didn't have to use it all the time, but it cools down the apartment in 2 minutes or so. In the basement there is enough room for all your beach toys and stuff.
  : I didn't like the smelly pillows, towels and bed sheets. Everything had a sweat like odour!!! Apartment was also smelly, but in a different way. So we laid down to sleep, figured that the pillows and everything else is smelly, so I took pillows at 23h to the reception to replace them. Guy there gave me 4 new pillows - two of them were even more smellier, two of them were a lot less smelly, so I kept the two that smelled less, put my own towels over them and we slept on them like that. Tomorrow we purchased our own bed sheets, and we used them during our stay. Towels were sometimes smelly, sometimes not. They change them every day. You can smell them in front of the cleaning lady and choose which ones to take. A couple of times, non smelly towels had dirt stains on them - this was on our third day, so we also had to purchase new towels, that we washed on our own in the washing machine in the basement (which works fine actually). Dishes were dirty, dishwasher doesn't work - when its at program 3 you need to manually turn the dial to the next step for it to continue with the wash. Also when it reaches the program 4, you need to move it a bit for it to continue with the wash. DOORS ARE UNSECURE AND CAN BE BROKEN IN EASILY! Doors are large metal ones, but they lock in one place! Bathroom is hell! Shower leaks all over the place, its dirty, has mold, some weird stains, and the smell when you get in... my god... We also purchased some scented sticks to keep in the bathroom to fight the odour. NOTE THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME WE HAD ISSUES WITH THE SMELLY APARTMENT EVEN THOUGH WE STAY IN THEM AT LEAST 4 TIMES PER YEAR. Some kitchen utensils are broken, rusty, dishwasher is rusty, stove works fine, there was enough gas available for cooking, but it is really old and outdated... and it deals with gas and flame, so it didn't really feel safe to use. You get only 1 set of keys. Sometimes elevator gets stuck between 1. and 2. floor going up.
