Vallegrande Nature Resort by Geocharme

Vallegrande is in a stunning location, beautifully kept, excellent plumbing, aircon etc. It is a very pleasant place to be. However, the journey from the main road needs to be much more clearly highlighted. It is treacherous. Even for the most robust driver, it could only be attempted once a day which left us less likely to go to the beach or the town for lunch etc. The website implies some kind of organic food escape. This not the case. Breakfast remained completely the same for 10 days. Not one item changed. Rock hard and poorly mixed scrambled eggs, gone off pineapple, faded grated carrot, very average and not crispy croissants. Even the £7 omelette was over done, one crepe was served for €6, one boiled egg €4. The lunch offering was poor, an €18 chicken salad had scraps of chicken, chunks of golden delicious apple, rocket and no dressing. A side of bread from breakfast was served. While some staff were friendly, there was an air from many that they just did not want to be there. Smiles were rare. We had a very basic massage is a painted plywood box/shed, don't bother to be honest. We had a wonderful holiday in a stunning part of the world. However, these are the things I would question before booking. As a final sign off, following paying a bill of over €5,000 (we had two rooms), I asked for a bottle of water for the journey in 35 degree heat and was charged €3.

We stayed for two nights at Vallegrande. Considering the branding (relaxed luxury) we thought this resort would have couples as guest, but the majority was families with children. If you’re looking to relax and enjoy some quiet time at the resort, this place is not for you. The beds were also rock hard. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay, and the service was amazing!

Average for the price. Rooms nice, shower good. Breakfast just ok. Would have been better if they offered the eggs included, and not €4 per egg. Quite extortionate. Poor roads up to the place. Rooms small a bit fusty, woke me from my sleep a few times. Smell old, could be the wood or the rust from some of the decor. Pool area was nice too with plenty of places to sit. Prices of tea, coffee and drinks ok.

A charming resort hotel with great staff. Also located near a small but beautiful town Cefalu. Naomi, Alexandra and Yusuf were particularly helpful. The ride to the hotel is a bit rocky and the breakfast range could be better. Also room temperature was set and could not be changed so was not ideal. That said we really enjoyed the location and used it as a base camp.

Hotel is mooi aangelegd. Ziet er zeer stijlvol en mooi uit. Bij aankomst werden we hartelijk verwelkomd door Christina. Ze bracht ons naar de kamer en liet de omgeving zien. De omgeving is rustgevend en heeft een mooi natuurgebied. Met uitzicht op zee is het prachtig om te verblijven. Het hotel bood ook Spa voorzieningen aan op hun website. Dat was ook een van de redenen dat we hier hadden geboekt. Ik wilde een afspraak maken voor een massage. Bleek er helemaal geen spa meer te zijn. Teleurstelling 1. Het dinner was goed en lekker. Om daar een keer te reserveren is aan te raden. Het ontbijt was goed maar wel beperkt. FruitSap was niet vers. En als je een gebakken ei wilde hebben moest je daarvoor extra betalen. De kamer was prima. Bed lag goed en de kussens zijn ook prima. Mooie goede regen douche. De service viel erg tegen. Als we iets wilde bestellen bij het zwembad stond er niemand. Alexio en Matteo daarentegen waren zeer vriendelijk en gastvrij. Maar verder viel de service wel tegen. Ook bij vertrek werd er niet gevraagd hoe we het gehad hebben. Het verblijf is mooi en straalt luxe uit. Maar de service is daar niet naar jammer genoeg.

Un posto davvero ben curato, immerso nel bosco, ottimo per rilassarsi in coppia o con la famiglia. Personale molto gentile e disponibile. Cucina gourmet eccellente e camera confortevole. Unica nota dolente, la distanza dichiarata dal centro di Cefalù..ingannevole! Ben 20 minuti e più per arrivarci
