Clean and unpretentious family-run hotel
Located across from sea
Rooms have beautiful balconies, some overlooking water
On-site restaurant has exceptionally fresh seafood
Free breakfast with lots of variety
Free Wi-Fi
Friendly and helpful owners and staff
Decor and rooms are basic
Limited additional amenities
This small family-run hotel overlooking the marina in Porto Cesareo is clean, comfortable, and a great value for its location across the street from the water. The rooms have lovely balconies, some overlooking the sea, and the hotel’s restaurant serves freshly caught seafood. Unlike at many competing hotels, the hotel and restaurant are open year round. The main drawback is that there’s very little luxury for an advertised four-star property, but the rates are low enough that it shouldn’t be an issue for many guests.
Scene
Clean and classic facade and interior decor
The property has a clean and classic look inside and out, with yellow and white serving as the prominent colors for its facade and interior decor. The rooms are arranged motel style and are reached from an outside area accentuated by potted plants. A deck with cushioned rattan chairs overlooks the marina. The on-site restaurant is similarly simple, with white tablecloths decorated with small vases of flowers.
Location
In the center of Porto Cesareo; close to restaurants, bars, and beaches
The hotel is in the center of Porto Cesareo, an area with many bars and restaurants that are within walking distance, including eateries like Lu Cannizzu and L'Aragosta da Cò. The area’s natural sights are breathtaking, and it’s only a 10-minute boat ride west to Conigli Island. Hotel Falli also offers discounts to the private beachside areas of Bacino Grande and Bassamarea Lido Club, which are about 10-minute away by car as well.
Rooms
Spacious and simply decorated with en-suite bathrooms
The 40 air-conditioned rooms are spacious, clean, and simply decorated with subtly patterned green or yellow bedspreads and light-colored furniture. Most rooms are in the main building, while others are in a small outbuilding just behind it. Rooms with balconies have beautiful sea views. Flat-screen TVs, minibars, and hair dryers are on hand as well. Large en-suite bathrooms have stall showers and modern fixtures, and Junior Suites have hot tubs.
Features
Free breakfast and fantastic seafood restaurant
Hotel Falli’s extra amenities are limited, though the property’s on-site cuisine is esteemed. The property’s free breakfast features local pastries and eggs cooked to order. The hotel restaurant Da Cosimino -- open year round -- serves fresh, locally caught seafood, including whole fish and pasta dishes. Other freebies include Wi-Fi and outdoor parking, though there is a fee for indoor parking.
