[Translated with Google Translate] We spent almost three weeks at Il Gabbiano, and as always, we had a wonderful time in every way: the sea and beach were always beautiful, the staff very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, the rooms comfortable, always well-maintained and clean, the garden impeccably maintained, the food excellent, the spa offerings delightful massages, the entertainment was non-invasive, and the reception and staff were impeccable. It was like being part of a big family where we meet every summer. See you soon in 2026.

[Translated with Google Translate] Breathtaking views, stunning location, incredible beach with crystal-clear water, great food, incredible pool... and so much more to rave about. A lot of thought went into creating this hotel, designed to make your stay magical. Our kids *loved* this place, and so did my husband and I. I couldn't recommend it more. Visit, enjoy!

Taylor Weinstock- Family holiday

This resort checked every box. From the food, to the service, scenery, rooms, and atmosphere. We absolutely did not want to leave this place and will be returning. The rooms were maintained daily, cleaned and swept. Towels fresh. You can always find something different to try on the menu and plenty for kids. They have a small deli section for lunch if you wanted something different. Sandwiches and some different pizzas. Breakfast was always a highlight because the coffee and fresh food everything was a great way to start the day The staff and entertainment crew worked so hard to put a smile on everyone’s face, made things personable, and made sure your needs were taken care of. Plenty of entertainment for all ages. The pool was super clean.

Renata Pekarkova- Family holiday

It was very nice 'start season' stay in this beautiful place. 2-bedroom apartment with sea view is gorgeus, spacious rooms, has everything you need in kitchen. Sea was great even on the beginning of May as well as the pool. There were enough sunbeds for everyone. 22C was enough to get burn, use sun cream :-) Perfect breakfast more sweet than salty with great options of croissants, cakes and fresh fruits, but eggs and bacon is available as well. Overall it was one of the best vacations we had as family. Thank you so much. It was worth to go there 2000km :)
