Posia Retreat & Spa Una Esperienze

Room was clean. Service was very mediocre, and the staff were not very friendly and lazy

Lovely hotel in great location for san foca and exploring locally. Staff were excellent, very attentive and helped us arrange a pasta making class in a nearby Masseria Cinque Santi. There is a beach club close to the hotel that was €30 for two, it was lovely and you could charge food and drink back to the hotel. The hotel also has tai swimming pools. The rooftop one which had sea view has to be booked as there is only space for about 10 people. We were there in June and it wasn’t too busy. The offer valet parking for €20 a day which we used but you could park nearby. Food there and drinks were really nice and close by to other food places too. Alessia on reception spoke to us about the Masseria and was really helpful in arranging - we drove there and had the best experience of our holiday at the pasta making class and tour of the working farm. We also had great massages in the spa one evening which were so relaxing and spa facilities were lovely too. Would recommend and would go back.

This beachfront property in San Foca is absolutely lovely. We booked for two nights at the end of our two week trip to Italy with the idea of relaxing on the beach after lots of sightseeing and it was absolutely perfect. The level of service at this hotel is excellent and something I wish many of the high end hotels in the US would return to. I would say there is an average of two hotel staff members to every guest. The hotel is very modern with beautiful, spacious rooms and bathrooms. We were on the second floor with a large balcony overlooking the ocean. There are two pools, one on the rooftop with and one on the first floor at the back of the hotel which was nice the day we arrived as it was windy and that one is sheltered more from the wind. There is also a pool at the spa but we did not visit the spa during our stay. We dined in the restaurant the first evening for dinner and the food and service were fantastic. We also elected to include breakfast each day in our stay and it was top notch. In addition to a huge spread of pastries and fruit, there cooked to order options from the menu included. And as with everything else, the service was quick and delivered with a smile. We also spent a day at their club, Mora Mora. The service was on point and the water and beach there are beautiful. It looks like the Carribean sea! We did not have a good meal at the restaurant there, however. We both ordered the tuna poke bowl and it was not good. The tuna was quickly seared outside but the inside was not cooked (as expected) and the color was not normal -gray brown instead of bright pink. It also had a very fishy taste so neither my husband or I ate it, fearing it may make us sick. We did not say anything to the waiter (my husband will never send food back!) so I'm not sure what they would have done, and the waiter did not comment on the fact that neither of us ate anything. The town of San Foca did seem a little sleepy and there are some storefronts that looked to be closed but we were there before the "season" started so that may be the reason. The hotel itself is everything we expected and more. I can't over state the wonderful service we received from Alessia and the other team members. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return.

My friend and I loved this modern, chic, clean hotel in San Foca. It is located on the water with gorgeous views from the rooftop (that has a beautiful infinity pool). We paid a bit more for a room on 2nd floor with sea view & with it. About a 5 minute walk from the “Main Street” of this quiet seaside town. 40 minute walk along the sea to the Cave of Poetry. For breakfast get the Salento egg dish! Lovely staff.

The Posia is address the street from the Ocean so the view is beautiful but the town of San Foca has limited activities and dining despite the potential it is lacking in many ways. The hotel is average some of the staff is spacey. The valet/bellhop recommended a restaurant which was a sort of scam so beware of recommendations. The hotel charges for everything from beach towels, chairs, parking and you have to reserve a chair at a small pool. The pool is misleading from website. The pools are small . The hotel also scheduled a photo shoot the day we were leaving and the staff prioritized that over their customers. I feel like this hotel is average I would not recommend it. The beach is a walk and you have to pay for parking. The spa is in the basement and the gym is like a dungeon I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. It’s not worthy it.

I would not consider this a luxury hotel and it is certainly not a 5 star hotel. The lobby was clean and modern but when we arrived in our room there was a very bad smell in the bathroom. We notified the front desk and they were prompt to offer a new room. The pools are nice but you have to reserve space at them. We were in the back of the hotel overlooking the pool and we could hear the pool pump and/or AC unit going all day long from our patio. The staff was kind and the room had what we needed but for the price paid, we were expecting much more.

Unbeateble location hotel in Salento. Superbly appointed rooms, friendly staff in an incredible location

Below average service and provided very little information of area’s attractions, restaurants, etc. We did our own research TG! The hotel is super modern. Very pricey which is ok on a beach location but then they charged for their Beach club access, for overnight parking, and the bicycles, etc… The room was just ok. The breakfast was very good. However, the hotel’s location was pretty ugly.

I have booked this trip as a gift for my mom’s b-day and we have stayed 2 night - had traveled there from Romania. Everything was planned couple of months in advance and I have paid for a spa treatment (70€ for 2 people). Unfortunately while being there we didn’t have the time anymore to use this service, and even though couple of days in advance I got an email about the fact this was paid, the information I have just overlooked. Then while staying the hotel staff didn’t inform that the service was paid, only at checkout this was mentioned when we had no time anymore to use this…so then the receptionist told me to write an email and inquire the refund because he cannot do. So I wrote the mail and the hotel declined the refund based on the fact they wrote me an email couple of days before the trip… I have had really other expectations from such a hotel…either that they communicate properly during the stay or that they refund. It’s not about the 70€ but I just want to warn everyone to be aware and careful with their payments for this hotel. Hope it helps.
