Hotel Villa Cornér Della Regina

A grand main building and a large complex with a beautiful pool, but quite a few disturbing circumstances. We stayed in nine different hotels on this trip to Italy, all of which were historic villas. The Hotel Villa Cornér Della Regina had the grandest architecture of them all, but was the most disappointing. Since we wanted a historic interior, we chose the De Luxe Junior Suite in the main building. The room was a good size, but you expect a larger room than usual from a Junior Suite. The room was quite ascetic. There is no mirror in the room, only a small mirror in the bathroom. A very small wardrobe inside the wall, which can only hold a couple of clothes hangers. There is also an old chest of drawers in the room, but its drawers do not open well. The mattress is very uncomfortable and since the mattress is partly under the headboard, there is less space than average for sleeping. The room only had plastic and cardboard cups, as is usually the case in cheap motels. The bathroom was decorated in an ultra-modern style 20+ years ago, which may have seemed like an effective solution at the time, but today such a combination is somehow strange. We didn't understand why the name of this room included the term De Luxe, because we didn't see anything luxurious there. Breakfast offered both savoury and sweet options, but the selection was very small. The bartender didn't want to make us a fresh Americano and asked us to pour ourselves a previously prepared and long-aged coffee from a jug. After some persuasion, I still got a fresh Americano from the bar. Although the meat ordered in the restaurant turned out to be so tough that it was very difficult to chew, the dinner experience was rather positive. The tuna we ordered was good and the desserts were also delicious. There is no elevator in the main building of the hotel and it is a building with very high floors. Our room was on the top floor and even without a suitcase it was difficult to get up the stairs. Fortunately, a hotel employee helped us carry our suitcases up. The iron was provided with a German plug, which could not be used because it did not fit into any of the plugs in the room. There are quite a few parking spaces, but it was difficult to find a free space, probably because of an event taking place at the hotel. I booked a room several months in advance and saw from the pictures that some rooms have a raised footboard on the beds. I asked for a room where the bed does not have a raised footboard. I am taller than average and my legs do not fit in such beds. They promised to give me a room with a suitable bed, but I was still given a room with a high footboard. Due to an event taking place at the hotel, there was noise until midnight and the pool closed earlier than usual. The hotel had signs posted saying that the pool would close earlier, but they could have also informed arriving guests by email. We chose the hotel for the pool and if we had known about the changed closing time
