The nine room types at Golfo dei Poeti Relais & Spa all share air conditioning, a private bathroom, flat-screen TV and minibar, but differ significantly in size and level of privacy. These range from the 28 m² Superior and Deluxe Rooms with partial sea or garden views, to the Classic Double Room with adapted tub and the Queen Room and Deluxe Prestige Room, both with a sea-view terrace and independent entrance.
For those wanting more space, the 80 m² Family Suite accommodates up to seven people with configurable beds, while the Junior Suite and the Suite with Hot Tub offer a living area separate from the bedroom, a welcome drink and, in one case, a private pool for exclusive use. The King Room with Hot Tub, finally, puts the tub front and centre as the defining feature of the room.
Located on the ground floor, this 28 m² room offers a partial front view of the sea and direct access to the shared garden, ideal for those who prefer to stay at street level.
Unlike the Superior, this room is located exclusively on the first floor and gives access to a private roof garden, with a wider front sea view.
The only room in the property with an adapted tub, overlooking the garden rather than the sea: a choice designed for those seeking comfort and accessibility.
At 80 m², this is the largest accommodation in the hotel, designed for families or small groups of up to seven people: an independent entrance, soundproofed walls and sea view complete the room.
Made up of a separate living area and bedroom, this 40 m² sea-view suite offers a welcome drink of wine or champagne and soundproofed walls, a step above the standard rooms.
