Hotel Poggio degli Ulivi * Rodi Garganico

If you want to spend quality time with your family, this is the place to be. Far from the noise of summer and yet giving you the relaxing holiday spirit. They have a very nice swimming pool which is very appropriate for kids. Staff is neither too friendly nor unfriendly. Just doing their job correctly. Rooms are spacious even though a bit old and with a tiny shower room. It happened that my towels were torn but at least clean 😀 Soap and shampoos of a bad quality so you better bring your own. Food is tasty but not wow! The main course is in general very good. Pasta not so much. Breakfast does not have many alternatives but it’s ok. They have a lot to offer should they want to. They should work on this for the next season.

Would I go back NO It is a very low-cost 3-star hotel We stayed August 20-27, 2023 I gave 3 stars only thanks to the swimming pool and the lifeguard Domenico, the dining room staff Antonio and Salome. Discreet place, excellent green spaces, good swimming pool. OBJECTIVELY speaking, the structure has potential, the rooms (the beds) should be reviewed, the manager of the bar of the structure was rude to the max, just because we sat at the bar table he behaved poorly and kicked us out, when it could have been politely said and done other; the breakfast was good but repetitive and I can't understand why one couldn't request an encore of a dish for dinner or lunch For readers of reviews and responses, as we are unable to respond, we will edit the review... Let's start from the assumption that what has been agreed and paid for therefore nothing is left over, furthermore a review is subjective therefore a structure that responds by offending even calling Vikings and finding nicknames for my wife so do an account of the level and type of structure. Then the problem of the supermarket is that one cannot stock up on water and food for the sea or for the various trips where the problem lies is that we had to buy everything from them, that's the point. Secondly, since you keep the menu sheets, I keep the chats in which you assure me of a type of room and surprise surprise it wasn't that, and as much more polite people we said: it's not the room that makes the holiday, forget it . Then no one told us that our little mouse, as you called him, couldn't come with us to the beach, we were told that he couldn't enter the restaurant and we didn't take him there. As for the retirement home, it's obvious because in a hotel like that and in the village you couldn't do more than that, in fact people told us what did you go to do in the old people's village. I'll tell you more, even those who worked when he left put a beautiful story on IG that I fully agree with. If it weren't for the fact that we had booked the excursion to the Tremiti Islands I would have literally already run away because in a retirement home you will also find beds from the 19th century with springs that stick into your skin. And I'll stop here and then learn to apologize to customers who give you negative reviews (which I then always gave them 3 stars) from which you can grow and improve. Last point, I am proud of being a Local Guide because I am evaluated for what I am by people like me in places like yours. Kind regards from the Vikings and their little mouse

I stayed with my husband and a couple of friends from August 20th to 27th. Let's start with the rooms, discreet cleanliness, uncomfortable and low beds. Structure, not bad, shuttle service, my dog could come with us everywhere except in the break room but it can fit, lots of green space, and unfortunately the mosquitoes feasted on my blood that week 😅 and it could fit a good disinfestation! Very nice and relaxing pool, the lifeguard Domenico very nice and friendly. The bar, on the other hand, had almost nothing because it had run out of almost everything and we won't talk about the manager! Grumpy, rude and tactless with customers. Kicking us out for a game of cards and railing against women... to say the least, animal-like, in fact it's a compliment to be an animal. As for the very nice dining room with a beautiful panoramic view, the discreet and repetitive breakfast, the lunch and dinner courses, not bad, but if one asks for an encore it is considered as an extra. Very friendly and humane waiters and we equally dislike them because they deserved it with all our hearts. We will never go back there again. For readers of reviews and responses, as we are unable to respond, we will edit the review... Let's start from the assumption that no one here has written and deleted reviews, so you are already wrong here! Then I think you dreamed of quite a few things because we didn't eat supermarket food at the bar tables, nor did we have wildly divine evenings, if you know what that is😅 then no one told us that our little mouse, as you called it, she couldn't come with us to the seaside and then my dears the chair wasn't much for her, at most the chair was more than fine, as she is used to her home and her country, wherever we go, that when they see her they immediately put it on her, so rinse your mouth when you talk about her because she's cleaner than you, nightmare hotel that you are! The Vikings came on holiday not to a canteen to eat gourmet dishes, we already eat those throughout the year to stay fit 😉 and then in my house the tablecloth is changed when it gets dirty, whereas since we arrived we have you always had meals eaten with the same tablecloth. However, we were already in a retirement home because you don't really do anything, to have fun we moved around the town because otherwise, upon returning, the fantastic four would go to the first available psychologist! And then learn to apologize to customers who give you negative reviews because of all the ones I've read there isn't an apology on your part but a criticism. Instead of improving yourself, you go with blinders on, undeterred, with the belief that everything in that structure is perfect when it isn't! Having said that, I will speak so badly of you that even the walls will be ashamed to come to you! Oh I forgot, we are the ones honored to erase you from the map 😁 you will only remain a bad memory...you learn from mistakes😉 Kind regards from the Vikings and their little mouse😝

I was at the Poggio degli Ulivi hotel in Rodi Garganico from 1/9 to 8/9. The hotel is located in an excellent position not far from the city of Rodi Garganico. It is located on a hill and has a wonderful view of the sea. This is not a traditional hotel. It is a village with various buildings, lots of greenery, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a very well-equipped kiosk bar. The staff is always very kind and helpful. Meals are served quickly. The rooms are always spotless and the management is superb. They are always friendly and ready to fulfill any wish. A wonderful holiday surrounded by wonderful locations. I sincerely thank the management of this hotel for the welcome and kindness shown throughout our stay.

We spent a quiet week here. The structure is very beautiful, with a large park which also includes a picnic area and a play area for children as well as hosting a swimming pool with lifeguard served by a nice bar. The rooms are in a structure separate from the common area, each with a balcony or small garden furnished with table, chairs and clothesline depending on the floor, they are very spacious and have a bathroom with window. The beach can be reached via shuttle, which I would advise the property to also use in the evening to take guests to the centre, even if parking at the marina is at a good price. The only sufficient aspect is the cuisine, although the choice is diversified (three fixed first courses (pasta in white, with tomato or pesto), three first courses and two "local" second courses, a side dish, dessert and fruit), the result it's not exactly top notch. Finally, allow me to criticize those who give very low ratings and feel a bit like Bruno Barbieri when talking about "hotel rules" and various blah blahs: we are in 2023 and 3 stars cost the same as 5 in 2016, the reasons are there we know, but they remain 3 stars, so let's calm down and not expect 5 star superior services!!

We spent a week at this property. The staff is very kind and tries to satisfy every request. The "gluten free" breakfast had nothing missing. Coffee, Cappuccio or Latte Macchiato prepared at the bar not from a powdered milk machine. The room was spacious and furnished with a large fridge. The balcony offers two armchairs, a table and a drying rack. The only critical point was cleanliness. For me it could have been more in depth. The ashtray on the balcony had not been emptied all week. But all in all I can recommend it
