Village within reach
Walkable small town or harbour
5.0mixed
The hotel is described as being in a somewhat remote location, with one reviewer noting a 30-minute drive via small roads from the highway. While Bale is mentioned as an access point, the reviews suggest that easy walking access to a charming village for dining or cafes is not a primary feature, and guests tend to stay within the resort.
“The only drawback was the walk we did to the nearby beach resort. There is not much of a resort, and the way is actually quite snake-invested (we saw three of them during a 30 minutes walk, so high boots recommended!). But there is no need to go there. Better stay within the confines of the resort and let you spoil!”
“Was slightly remote area where you would want to eat every meal there, so it’s probably best for 2-3 nights and not a full week”
“Note that the hotel is in a quite remote location, i.e. a drive of at least 30mins via small roads once you leave the highway. There’s two ways leading to the hotel - make sure to take the northern one via Bale, as the more southern one is a heavily bumpy gravel road (it would have been nice to know this in advance…).”
Quiet
Ambient noise level
7.0strong
The hotel is generally perceived as quiet and peaceful, contributing to a relaxing atmosphere. However, private events such as weddings can occasionally introduce noise and restrict access to certain areas.
“Wonderful and peaceful”
“The property was pristine! It was so relaxing and quiet. Everything was calming and amazing the second you set foot on sight.”
“The only thing is that there were 2 private events during our 4 days stay which we had no previous knowledge of, one of which was a wedding. This meant that there were 2 late afternoons/evenings, when we could not use the big pool and partially the garden area. Also, during the weeding, the music was very loud, but it was good that after 11 pm they moved it to a different location, afterwards it was quiet again.”

“Overall we had a truly fantastic stay in Meneghetti and we have immediately booked another stay in few weeks. :) We loved the general ambience, feeling of relaxation, elegance and sophistication. Our room was just right for our needs, we liked interior decoration, the gesture of welcome drink and welcome box. The nature is fantastic, professionalism, politeness as well as responsiveness of the employees (reception, spa, majority of waiters) meet high standards indeed. Ambience and music in the restaurant are very pleasant and enjoyable. We also asked for lunch package as we were heading on a long trip going back home - it was really very nicely prepared, we appreciated it as well as the waters and olive oil gift. My husband got a small very tasty cake for his birthday, it was really very attentive. Spa experience (massage and facial) was awesome. Last, but not the least - our dog had great time enjoying his welcome gift box. :)”
“Everything about this property was stunning. The accommodation was divine, the food delicious, the pool and beach both being a perfect place to enjoy the gorgeous weather. The staff were outstanding.”
