Posia Retreat & Spa UNA Esperienze

Nebst wunderschöner Anlage mit Strandanlage und sehr gutem Restaurant … das Personal war top herzlichen Dank

Posizione, pulizia

Più servizi dovrebbero essere compresi nel prezzo della stanza che non è basso. Ad esempio lettino mare per i clienti del hotel.

Struttura di ottimo livello …..qualita’ del ristorante 10 & lode , ottimo livello servizio staff .

Pulizia delle camere da migliorare , aria condizionata non in funzione nella hall ( specie col caldo torrido del periodo ) una pecca . Costi in generale parecchio elevati

Limpo.

Café da manhã muito ruim. Poucas opções. Até de frutas.

This is a gorgeous hotel- the setting is beautiful, the amenities are excellent (especially the rooftop infinity pool that overlooks the beach) but what makes this hotel really exceptional is the outstanding service from the staff. Francesco was so welcoming when we arrived and everything was done to make our stay very special. All of the staff were amazing -from the breakfast sitting, lunch at the beach club to the wonderful bar/dinner service . I have never experienced such a high level of service and a feeling of genuine warmth from staff - well done and thank you so much for a wonderful time!

Service New High Level hotel in San Foca SPA Beach Club

The hall temperature is high during the day due to the glass cealing effect

La piscina Infinity è rilassante e mozzafiato. La prima colazione è una bellissima esperienza, una scelta vastissima e prodotti presentati benissimo. Ottime le uova alla salentina, da ritornarci già solo per queste.

Ottimo il trattamento al Ristorante, servizio impeccabile. Sono stati gentilissimi ad accompagnarmi in alcuni giri di shopping. La cortesia dello staff è il fiore all'occhiello, in particolar modo al servizio di prima colazione.

Servizio impeccabile e la vista sul mare presente in tutti gli ambienti. Il ristorante è di altissima qualità e in particolare la SPA è veramente suggestiva ed emozionale. Esperienza da ripetere, senza dubbio

What a fantastic place for our 6-day stay in Puglia. The staff and service were exceptional. The room was great with some nice tech features. Anyone looking for a great location should keep Posia in mind. It’s first class.

Švara

Nėra malonu grižti į kambari , kuris tiesiog prikatęs nuo karščio ! Paskambinus i registratūrą atsakymas toks pat visada - uždarykite balkono duris :( . Nors visada jas ir uždarydavome išeidami iš kambario . Vakare kondicionierius kažkodėl pradeda veikti ? Tik grįžus iš paplūdimio ir išsimaudžius po dušu norėtusi išeiti į vėsų kambarį :( . Buvome 4 naktis . Deja tik paskutinę dieną pagaliau reikalai pasikeitė. Ir dar . Tikrinkite sąskaitą išsiregistruodami iš viešbučio . Jų mokamu paplūdimiu nesinaudojome nei karto . Deja neatkreipėme dėmesio , kad jis buvo įtrauktas į sąskaitą . Apulija yra nuostabi . Bet šio viešbučio nebesirinktume :(

I loved the hotel! It’s not very big, so there aren’t many people, which makes the stay more comfortable and relaxing. The team was very helpful with all our questions, and the restaurant and bar were just amazing. There are two pools at the hotel, and just a one-minute walk away, you have a beautiful beach—simply perfect.

We had a wonderful week. The sea and beach are breathtaking. The restaurant on the beach, Mora Mora, is really nice. The people who work at the hotel and the beach go out of their way to make the stay as comfortable as possible. So overall it was a great vacation. We had a boat excursion with Impero and it was great. A few things that could be improved for a 5 star resort: provide water bottles in the room everyday at no extra cost. Make sure people have towels for the beach/pool without the request of the card. The maid should come to the room also in the afternoon/evening to reset the room. Keep the music lower in common spaces, especially at 7.30 am in the morning. San Foca is not the most vibrant village, but it is fine if one wants to be in a quiet place.

The property was immaculate, highly luxurious, rooms were spotlessly clean and beautiful, incredible shower. Breakfast was amazing and all staff were wonderful, so helpful and friendly. We also loved the bar for an apertitivo or nightcap. We had a perfect stay!

Absolutely nothing.

Localização e quarto

Área da piscina pouco confortável, pequena

Le personnel du petit déjeuner très sympathique et professionnel !

Wunderbares Frühstück, schöne Lage am Meer, sonst rundherum nichts Sehenswertes

The staff is extremely nice and friendly, especially in the restaurants. Very welcoming. Good location for excursions. Absolutely excellent restaurant! Modern hotel decor. But it is not a 5 star hotel: Oddly, they only give you one towel per person to use at the pool and they keep your key hostage and threaten with a fine if you do not return the towel (not a five-star way to treat paying guests). Water bottle in room only on the first night. Closet hangers have hooks so you don't steal them. There is no turndown service. TV has only Italian language channels. Loungers by infinity pool very uncomfortable.

Very friendly helpful staff. Breakfast was solid. Location ok. Very good restaurant with very good service. Room spacious and modern.

Pool not great, small, very uncomfortable lounges, little shading. Pictures misleading. Strange towel policy for pool, and quality of towels mediocre. Cable TV only Italian channels. Air Conditioning works but couldn’t be controlled. Accommodation is overpriced.

La vue depuis la chambre

le manque de choix au restaurant

Le petit déjeuner c’est tout le reste zéro

Pour les clients de l’hôtel le spa ne doit pas être payant c’est inadmissible et en plus chronométré aberrant nous avons fait des hôtel 5 étoiles luxe et jamais nous avons eu ce problème et en plus la chambre donnait sur les toits avoisinants très déçus je ne le recommande pas personnel antipathique surtout au dîner le soir une fois après nous allions dîner dehors !! Il n’y avait personne à l’hôtel nous aurions pu avoir une chambre côté mer très déçus

Gostamos muito da localização e da presteza dos funcionários

Algumas acomodações não estarem disponíveis por conta da baixa frequência, (o hotel estava vazio)

Super hôtel, personnel serviable et sympathique. Breakfast au top ainsi que le restaurant.

Pour être tatillon, je dirais que les piscines extérieures pourraient être chauffées.

Desayuno excelente y la atención del personal

Das Hotel ist ein modern eingerichteter Neubau mit sehr schöner Einrichtung. Es gibt einen Außenpool auf der 1. Etage ohen Ausblick und einen Infinity-Pool auf dem Dach mit späktakulärem Mehrblick. Das Zimmer war geräumig und mordern eingerichtet. Ein großes Bad mit begehbarer Dusche rundete das Bild ab. Das Frühstüch war a la Card und auch sehr gut. Sehr freundliches Personal.

Das WiFi war praktisch unbrauchbar. Sehr geringe Feldstärke in unserem Zimmer. Mehrfache Reklamationen halfen leider nicht. Da auch der Mobilfunkempfang in San Foca weder mit Vodafon noch Telekom funktionierte, war das schon recht schwierig. Leider gab es im Zimmer nur eine offene Garderobe und keinen Kleiderschrank. Das ist bei einem Aufenthalt von 10 Tagen unschön, da man aus dem Koffer leben muss. Beide Pools sind leider unbeheizt. Ich habe die Wassertemperaturen gemessen. Der Infity-Pool hatte 18°C, der andere Pool 20°C und war erst ab 10:00 Uhr zugänglich. Leider wollte man für den beheizten SPA-Pool 14€ pro Person und Besuch haben. Es wäre wohl angemessen gewesen, dass bei Unbenutzbarkeit der Pools wenigstens der SPA-Pool kostenfrei zu benutzen wäre.

Excellent

Great hotel room and very spacious. The downstairs pool was chilly and overlooked though pleasant to sit by. Food and drink particularly breakfast was excellent. The breakfast is made to order with an additional buffet table. Gym was a litle basic with dumbells up to 14kg only. Overall highly recommended.

Very friendly staff

The shower was blocked and they didn't fix it. The water came out of the room to the corridor. Regular and very expensive restaurant. Menu with few options.

Staff were amazing, hotel was very upmarket and extremely comfortable

Lovely stay in this hotel. Nice, spacious room, overlooking the sea. Dinner was delicious with lovely people serving. But the highlight were the breakfasts which were absolutely gorgeous - and we ate so much! Very special thanks to Giusy who served us every morning with a smile and a chat, she was so friendly and helpful and lovely, nothing was too much trouble. We would stay here again

Amazing location and service

Hôtel superbement décoré. Petit déjeuner excellent .Transfert vers la plage . Très beau bar . Chambre spacieuse avec très belle douche .

Manque de rangements chambre et salle de bain. Climatisation pas tout à fait autonome.Piscine pas chauffée.Restaurant trop peu fréquenté , nous étions seul ,cependant le repas était très bon.

Really good hotel as everything is high quality including the staff. Don’t bother with any boat trips as the one we had was not good value. They organised a wine tasting trip for us and that was fantastic. It’s called Castello Frisari and not only is the wine fantastic but the place is beautiful with a lovely meal at the end. Definitely going back to the hotel though as San Foca is great and if you want to eat, drink and sleep well this hotel is for you. Forgot to mention that it’s really modern and very cool 😎

Pessoal extremamente atencioso e educado.

The best breakfast and restaurant. Loved the spa facility. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

If you want to visit other areas, I would recommend getting a car. There are not many public transport options.

The staff made us feel so welcome

Parking is expensive

We had a wonderful stay at Posia SPA and Retreat. The location is stunning, with beautiful sea views and a peaceful atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing. The rooms were modern, spotless, and very comfortable. A special mention to the breakfast staff Giusy @ Domenico who were always smiling, attentive, and made each morning feel like a treat. The front desk team, Francesca, Alessia & Francesco were equally fantastic — helpful, professional, and genuinely caring with lots of helpful tips for exploring We left feeling refreshed and very well looked after. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely return!

As soon as you walk in the door and greeted by the reception staff you know that that your stay is going to be special. Our stay was truly special. The cleanliness of the entire Hotel is faultless, every piece of furniture, decor etc is spotless. Our room was simply (but elegantly) magnificent. Comfort at every level re the bedding, nice spacious bathroom and the sea view was an added bonus. We didn't have dinner or lunch at the Hotel but other guests did compliment on the food. Breakfast was a standout and there was everything anyone could wish to kickoff their day. If you had a special request the kitchen would make the effort to make it possible. A special mention to Giusy who met every morning with a smile and conversation...she is an angelxxx. Also thank you so much to Alice for getting some much needed ironing attended to for us. Posia Retreat & Spa is worth staying at if your in that part of the coast.

Very professional and friendly staff! Spacious room with nice sea view. Wallet parking.

Overpriced and still charging 40euros for sauna, 80euros for e-bike … this is somehow standard in other pricey hotels. City was rather empty at this time of season, Otrante would be better choice as there is more attractions and restaurants.

Nydelig hotell, frokost og service! Hotellet ligger i en liten by hvor det ikke var noe særlig aktivitet når vi var der (utenfor sesong). Men perfekt for en getaway fra byen 😊

The hotel is very modern and nice. The rooms confortable and very good breakfast. Best of all was the attention of Alessia in the front desk and her great recommendations for restaurants in the area.

We paid for 11 nights, 15-26 September in advance but only stayed for two nights from 15-18 September. It was not the retreat or relaxing luxury break the hotel website led us to believe we would enjoy given it boasted elegant and stylish facilities, its own private beach and invited guests to enjoy being indulged and pampered in its spa. When we arrived, we were informed that the beach club had closed for the season. We had selected this hotel because of its luxury facilities and location on the beach. As the weather in September is usually still very nice, we thought the fact the hotel had its own beach restaurant and beach was a big attraction. To be advised that we could not even visit the beach restaurant for lunch was a huge disappointment and not flagged at the time of booking. We consider that if key facilities are not to be available during certain times of the year and will adversely impact a booked stay this should be made clear in advance - not after you arrive after travelling some distance to get there. We recognise the hotel can’t be held responsible for the unseasonably poor weather we experienced and understand that three beach itself was not able to be used. However, we were led to believe the beach club was near to the hotel but it is not and is some distance away, which is also not made clear on the website, which gives the impression everything is on site. The advertising and hotel website depicts tranquil beaches and the rolling greens of the golf course but also do not show that the main road into San Foca runs directly in front of the hotel between the hotel and the beach, therefore Seaview rooms are subject to significant noise from the road. The hotel is just not geared up for poor or mixed weather during the day, which given the facilities it boasted it should be. The only place to relax during the day is the Spa, which needs to be pre-booked one day in advance and then can only be used for 90 minutes. Also, the limited sun loungers around the pool also require pre-booking, which make spending your days here is anything but indulgent or relaxing. We made a choice to leave to salvage our holiday. Our advice stay away.

This is a beautiful resort across the street from the sea. As I entered the resort, I felt an immediate sense of calm. The ambievence, lighting, staff - were all very "there" for me. My stay was great. The room was super comfortable, the view of the sea incredible, the spa...well...I am just starting to come back to life 4 days later! Dominico in the restaraunt, in the morning was super attentive - to everyone! I think he speaks several languages. The breakfast bar had all sorts of items in addition to having bacon and eggs (and other great items) available. Anna and Frederica provided the best spa treatments that I have had in a long time! The spa area was so clean, comforting, and relaxing. Would have received 5 stars if it weren't for the fruit flies that enjoy wine about as much as I do. In addition, they need a supply of "larger" robes - one size does not fit all.

Wurden vom Parkplatz mit einem Caddy abgeholt. Toller und sehr freundlicher Empfang. Bekamen zum Empfang einen Drink serviert.

This stay was to be the highlight of our Italian vacation. The breakfast was made to order and delicious, the rooms were large and there were 2 pools. The day spa with thr heated pool was divine. There were some areas that were disappointing. Firstly the beds were very uncomfortable, the mattress was too firm and felt quite thin. The rooftop pool was allegedly "heated" but it was consistently freezing. I chose this hotel for the pool and proximity to the beach, however the pools were too cold. Despite being so close to the local beach, the hotel did not offer any beach chairs for their guests. Lastly, my son's bed was not made up upon arrival and they consistently only provided 2 instead of 3 towels which was inconvenient. Im glad we decided against the deluxe room with the private plunge pools as those rooms were in a basement level and didnt get any direct sunlight. Happy hour was for tea with some snacks but wines were not discounted. For the price of the hotel, i did expect a wider range of amenities for guests - such as daily bottles of water at the very least. The housekeeping and breakfast staff were very lovely. The breakfast chefs were very talented with delicious pastries.

Location, modern, service was excellent

All is good -we have no negative comments!

Great hotel and very good staff. They were extremely helpful and thoughtful.

Location is good, weather in September was not great - rain and wind. Beach is a walk or navetta ride but very nice.

Wonderful view from our balcony and great breakfast.

they closed the hotel beach sighting "bad weather" whist other beaches in the area remained open on sunny beach days. We spent several fine days at other local beaches.

My husband and I traveled to Puglia in September 2024. Our trip began with two nights in Matera then on to the coast where we stayed at the Posia Retreat and Spa. We booked a Deluxe Room based on the sites’s inviting and simple photo . Unfortunately the room in reality was far less desirable with an industrial mostly concrete view. We upgraded at an additional $100 per night to a sea view room which was lovely. Important to note is that while the Posia boasts in its brochure of an outdoor heated infinity pool it is false advertising . In warm weather this is likely not an issue but in cooler weather in order to have access to its only on site heated pool , which is located in its spa , you have to pay an additional cost of $90 per person per day for that access. A room charge already at $500 a night with such an additional cost feels like “ nickel and diming” and is unbecoming of a property that would like to be viewed with elegance. Included breakfast was generous and staff was helpful.

We booked to stay at Posia since we were looking for a sea view and beach access. We paid extra for a sea view, which was partially blocked by the roof of the reception below. When we checked in, we discovered that there are extra charges for beach access. The beach is in fact 400 metres away from the hotel and either a walk along the road .or a wait for the shuttle The two pools are small, the rooftop pool is so small that you have to book space in advance. The staff were unfriendly and gave us such a bad feeling that we felt we could not have a relaxing vacation at Posia. We therefore checked out after one night. Not surprisingly based on the attitude of the staff, they refused to give us a refund. We were nonetheless happy to leave. I was only sorry that I had not read previous reviews of the place, and then would have been warned.

Excellent hotel in every respect.

Absolutely superb

Staff were friendly & decent breakfast

Description on Booking.com does not match the reality (including bear walls in rooms & common areas). This hotel is not on 1st line for beach access, does not have basic amenities (e.g. iron for your clothes that you can borrow) and, in fact, all services are provided for extra cost, including access to beach club (to which you need to be taken by a golf cart) & spa access to zones that are normally included (e.g. sauna & steam room) in even 3* & 4* hotels. Overall, I refer you to my extensive review on Google maps, which demonstrates all of this in more detail and, instead of finding a way to show understanding and resolve the issues, Posia management instead threaten legal action for bad review, which is quite representative of the lack of basic respect for its paid customers.

Beautiful facilities overlooking the ocean with direct access to a beautiful beach.

Fantastic boutique hotel - incredibly clean, tasty breakfast, great service and nice bedrooms. Never felt too busy and we were well looked after. Dinner is also the best in town. San Foca has a nice beach - the lidos take up a lot of space but you can always find a slot somewhere in the public areas. The town itself is relaxing, with a few restaurants. It’s somewhere to relax, not to party

This property was just fantastic! It exceeded our expectations! The service was so warm, friendly, and helpful- really trying and succeeding in meeting our every need! Just wish we had planned more days there!

Sehr schönes Hotel und sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter!

The position and the kindness of the staff.

The facilities and the completeness of the overall offer.

Neighborhood was literally shocking! Great facility though … we made the best out of it by town hoping ! Great beaches and caves…

Unexpected Quiet Luxury. Staff was attentive and very pleasant. Easy and relaxed atmosphere.

Tolles kleines Designhotel mit sehr, sehr freundlichem Service. Sehr schönes und individuelles Frühstückbuffet mit Service. Tolle Zimmer, gute Bar und leckeres Essen im Restaurant. Wir kommen gerne wieder !

The hotel is so clean and modern. The food was incredible and the location on the beach is perfect. I loved the infinity pool with the view from the rooftop.

Beautiful hotel, great rooms, fantastic breakfast, great view, great spa

Ants in my room, I made a mistake with the booking and accidentally added an extra day to my stay that I didn´t and couldn´t use and the hotel did nothing for me regarding that. We spent a lot of money at the facilities it would have been nice that let part of that additional night go towards that cost

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.

Bel établissement mais ne vaut pas 5 étoiles. Même pas une bouteille d’eau de courtoisie. Eco _responsabilité moyenne car impossible de boucher le lavabo. Il faut laisser couler l’eau non stop. Chambres modernes avec balcon mais vue pas terrible. Bon petit-déjeuner avec du choix et des produits frais. Restaurant avec des prix un peu élevés.

The breakfast was delicious and the facilities were spotless, clean, modern, and beautiful. The bed was one of the most comfortable that I had in Italy. Also, the hotel is only a short walking distance to the area where there are lots of restaurants. Most of all you have a beautiful sea view from your terrace which is an excellent point.

Check out time is at 10:30 AM. I am not sure if this is a standard in Italy but I find too early for the price you pay for the hotel

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

Wir waren spontan für zwei Nächte dort und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Wunderschönes Hotel an der Strandpromenade. Sehr nettes Personal und das Essen war ein Traum! Die 5 Sterne sind mehr als verdient! Wir werden bestimmt nochmals kommen!

A beautiful hotel…. Across the road from the beach… A great spot to unwind and relax!

For the price paid, I think the parking and sauna usage could be included in the cost of the room. For some it may be a little noisy as it sits on the main road and a busy beach (in summer), is directly opposite. However still a wonderful and enjoyable stay!

5 star experience with fine dining & spa facilities. Staff always helpful & can’t be faulted. Great that it’s connected to the Mora Mora Beach Club which makes it great for beach days!

Nothing!

Love everything about it, location , facilities, staff, food, this place is super! It’s a gem ! Thank you guys for making my stay so amazing ! The staff goes out of their way to help you and make sure you are enjoying your stay !

Nous n’aimions pas notre chambre. Heureusement, le gestionnaire de l’hôtel nous a gentiment permis de raccourcir notre séjour pourtant réserver sans possibilité d’annulation. Pour moi, cela signifie beaucoup. Au Posia, ils sont professionnels et compréhensifs. L’hôtel était par ailleurs complet. Donc, nous, nous n’aimions pas notre chambre, mais de nombreuses personnes aiment beaucoup cet hôtel.

The breakfast was fantastic and the hotel facilities were excellent.

We went out of season so there were limited places open in walking distance. A great base to travel elsewhere.
