Geco di Giada Exclusive Art Suites

The whole place and Giada’s hospitality are exceptional. Firstly, the premises are stunning, very well built and maintained. You can barely see any signs of wear & tear, and it looks and feels brand new and is very clean and comfortable. We stayed in the Flamingo Suite which was spacious and had two large patios overlooking the sea. What I liked the most was the lovely design and that everything was clean and in perfect condition. Also the wardrobe was large. The design of the room, bathroom and patios were very tasteful. Every little detail had been thought through by Giada to the point that you really won’t miss anything there, because it’s probably already there. The Nespresso machine was good, there was a kettle, a minibar/fridge, wine bottle opener, nice plastic wine glasses (which still looked and felt very good, as I tend to be picky with such things) that you can also take with you by the pool without worrying about anything breaking, pool towels with a bag so you can easily carry your things, a small drying rack for your bikini/other clothes. Even the hair dryer was a proper one with great power and a long cord. Our main patio was big and had a lovely large, round lounger as well as a seating area. On the rooftop there was another patio with two separate sun loungers and an umbrella. It’s also such a great place to watch the sunset. The pool is very nice and clean just as the garden and the bar area in the garden up the stairs. The breakfast was good! There was delicious bread, cheese, ham, eggs, croissants, yoghurt, fruit.. and everything was delicious and of high quality. However, the best was Giada’s hospitality. It’s clear that she runs this place with her heart and wants her guests to genuinely enjoy their stay. I wish that all b&b’s and hotels had an owner like her. The area is also very nice. There’s lots of services literally minutes away and you can find shops, restaurants, cafe’s, pharmacies, beaches etc. While being centrally located, Geco di Giada is still a very peaceful place. As very frequent travelers, we’ve seen hundreds of accommodations of all kinds and this one here is easily one of the best, if not the best one. We don’t usually stay in b&b’s as they often lack services/are self-catering but here we will return without a doubt.

Stayed for a long weekend with friends. The property is beautiful and very conveniently located for shops and restaurants in Porto Rotondo. However, our toilet emanated an unpleasant smell for the entire duration of our stay. Also, the hostess, Giada, ordered her staff around with a high-pitched voice and an attitude that she thought she could keep also towards us guests. Perhaps she needed a holiday herself, but we won’t be rushing back.
