Hotel terbaik di Noci

Dimora in Italian translates into English as mansion. Intini is indeed a mansion, with the largest hotel rooms I have seen. Noci itself is not a draw, but it is well located as a base to access the major sights in the area, such as Alberobello, Locorotondo, Cisternina and Martina Franca, as well as a visit to coastal cities Bari or Monopoli. Intini was a very good option in the area, given the quality of the rooms, breakfast and cost. The bed was large and comfy, pillows were good, and there were ample seating options and storage space for clothes and luggage. The bathroom was large and modern, everything worked well. Parking is on the street, where you can find it, and the hotel provides a card to avoid paying the metered rate. The hotel has a restaurant where you have breakfast, a very satisfying affair, and dinner if you choose. Our dinner there was one of the best we had on our trip. The one big downside was our room location, which overlooked the front of the hotel. The restaurant, with outdoor seating, is in front and open all day until late, and they insist on playing music, a selection we found quite annoying, while the restaurant is open. Daytime is not an issue but, in the evening and later, after a long day, the music was intrusive and bothersome. Even with our windows closed, the sound found us. We requested it be lowered, which they sort of did (not enough to suit us) but that’s bad for the ambiance they want to portray. As this was a daily issue for us, it mitigated an otherwise very positive experience.

As stated the hotel is isolated and set up for conferences, weddings, tours. Having said that, we found the staff (especially the waiting staff and bar staff) were friendly and helpful and cheerful, especially as they were run off their feet. The reception team were cheerless and had that couldn't be bothered attitude. Setting- Grounds and pool area lovely. We didn't use the pool but others told us it was very cold. You can hire towels but changing them costs 3e each time- something that should be included in a 4* hotel. Rooms- Having read previous reviews, we asked for one with a view ( rather than looking inwards at the other buildings) It was nice and light with a balcony and chairs/ table. Bed was large and very comfortable and room spacious. Dark and quiet at night too. No English TV channels, but a huge flat screen TV over the vanity area without a mirror. Bathroom - large and has a rainfall shower. Plenty of towels, but too dark. A/C was good the first half of the week (although you cannot adjust the temperature manually, you have to ring reception to change the stat!) the second half of the week, the A/C was running loudly all night, without cooling. We did report this but it was never rectified. I guess no one bothered as many guests only stay a night or 2. WIFI kept dropping out in the bedroom- you had to pick up the signal right at the bedroom door ( it was fine in public areas) Again , we reported this but we got a shrug of the shoulders from reception staff who said no one had ever had a problem! The towels were replaced daily and bedding changed once during the week, however the cleaning was under par. Neither the floors nor the units were cleaned all week. Ladies, take your own hairdryer ( its an old fashioned tube one in the bathroom) and an extension lead as the only mirror is on the wardrobe as you enter the bedroom. There's a quiet fridge in the room. Its safe to use the tap water to drink. Meals- We were part of a smallish group and sat in the smaller, quieter dining room. It was a relief as the main hall is HUGE and like a canteen. (This is where the breakfast buffet is set up) Evening meals were generally very nice. 3 courses , nouvelle cuisine style . You choose from 3 choices ( for each course ) the night before. The translation doesn't always work too well, but its lots of fun! Considering the huge numbers of meals produced, the kitchen does well, and the waiting staff are hardworking and smiley. Wines are reasonably priced, and the staff will save your bottle for you for the next evening. Breakfasts varied in that if you have an early start you may be jostling with huge parties of people ( some not so polite!) to collect your food and drinks. Coffee is typically Italian and very strong, but there are hot and cold milks to hand. There are cereals, fruit, honey, yogurt, pastries, scrambled egg, boiled eggs, cheeses and ham, and tomatoes. Bread, a toaster and butter and jams. Yes, there are sometimes waits for replenis
