Hotel Scintilla is located right near La Cinta beach. It doesn’t pretend to be any more than comfortable beach side accommodation. All the staff were friendly and very helpful (my lack of Italiano notwithstanding)

28 Jul 2025
The kindness of the owners and staff in general is indisputable good. It was our first time to a 3 star hotel and We couldn’t understand how it is even possible for such a dated hotel to be rated with stars, never mind 3! The bedroom wasn’t ready after checking in and we were given the keys to the bedroom regardless. When we opened the door the door bashed to the bed because of the size of the bedroom. There is a light in the middle of the headboard which didn’t work and therefore it is for exteriors. Electric socket are low in number and one of them was sinking behind the plate potentially being dangerous also there are no socket with usb.
Internet is terrible and the tv is so small , the safe is small and dated, there is no fridge or kettle or a chair to seat. The bathroom is also dated really not hygienic the curtain around the shower. Everything is so old and date. The first nigh we couldn’t sleep between the bedsheets because there was a mark of urine in the middle disgusting also the smell. There were no showers gel or shampoo only one cheep soap bar and when we requested mire we were told tomorrow . Breakfast… with flies and wasps to the food which look disgusting regardless they have a self service coffee machine and coffee is disgusting, no toaster no bread. You have to pay 20€ per day to rent the umbrella and chaise lounge at their beach spot cash only without receipt! All in all for the price of 190 euros per night absolutely a big NO!

La struttura, seppur datata, è di una pulizia incredibile, davvero stanze così pulite si vedono raramente. Molto curato, bello anche il giardino davanti , anch'esso curatissimo. Posizione top cucina n parcheggio gratuito di fronte e a 3 Min a piedi dalla spiaggia della cinta.

Nessuna manutenzione .. tutto è rimasto agli anni 80.
Materassi incavati, pareti imbiancate 20 anni fa, rubinetti vecchi in ottone, nessuna abat-jour, ma una lampada da cantina nel mezzo al letto. Non ci siamo!
Unica nota positiva la posizione, ottima! A pochi passi dalla famosa spiaggia della Cinta.

Decent good
Basic hotel at the end of dark ending street. The staff was friendly but didn't speak much English. Close to the beach but a bit walking to town/village center.

Bon emplacement mais hotel assez basique
L'intérêt de cet hôtel réside dans son emplacement, à 150 mètres d'une magnifique plage, malheureusement bondée en août...
Hôtel typiquement italien: un 3* qui en vaudrait 2 en France: petites chambres (propres), déco basique. Accueil correct.

Good location
Hotel is in great location, very close to la Cinta beach. Breakfast was okay but not much variety. Rooms traditional and have good air con, but lack special touches. Corridor outside our room was very loud. Would be nice to have welcome pack in room, with WiFi password etc. Overall, not bad but not blown away.

Hotel da ristrutturare
Hotel a due passi dal mare, struttura molto pulita ma eccessivamente datata. Non e’ possibile che ci siano ancora le docce con le tendine che ti fanno allagare il bagno ogni volta, in camera non c’e’ il frigobar,e la colazione va’ decisamente migliorata perche’ alle 9 del mattino gia’ finiscono i cornetti. Personale gentile, ma sarebbe ora di ristrutturare un po’...
