Hotel Parrini

When I booked this hotel in February, I gambled that the Hotel would be better than some of the reviews that I had read. My gamble paid off, the hotel is excellent. We had a street facing room, the balcony doors are well sound proofed, incidentally the street side is north facing and cooler than the sea view rooms. Hotel Parrini is situated on the edge of the beach with fine views of Elba and even Corsica on clear days. The catering is of a high standard, with no difference in standard between the A' la Carte and the shorter half board menu. The Management and staff are hard working, friendly and always helpful.

Stayed at Parrini for 3 nights of a 10 day holiday in Italy to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Beautiful resort and wonderful hotel. Our room overlooked the sea and had a little balcony with two chairs. The room was large, airy and very comfortable. Lovely big bed. Minibar was sufficiently stocked and not expensive. The windows had independent shutters which were great for shutting out the light for a sleep-in. The air-conditioning worked very efficiently. The bathroom was small, but very functional. The toilet was a little noisy when filling, but with the door closed - very quiet. Breakfast was a wonderful selection of cakes, pastries, cheese, meat and a couple of hot foods, eggs and sausages. The dining room was spacious, bright and very clean. Breakfast could also be taken out onto the terrace. The hotel has its own private beach with sunbeds and parasols. There is also a toilet and shower at beach level for use by the residents. Only problem was the many traders patrolling the beach who constantly interuppted you trying to sell their wares. The hotel has a good enviromental policy for energy saving and recycling - which is great to see. Free Wifi available throughout. Signal not great, but sufficient for smartphone use. Definitely would recommend this lovely hotel, in a lovely resort, right on the sea. Thank you Parrini for a fabulous stay and for giving us such a wonderful room............ we will be back someday :-)

Great location and service!
