Ortega United States of America

The food in the restaurant was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. We plan on visiting the hotel again if they will allow us to park in their parking lot while dining. The fact they have parking available is a big bonus.

Wow, just wow! The view from the hotel is just spectacular. Staff friendly and informative. Excellent breakfast buffet with friendly staff. Loved the beach club on the rocks of the mediterranean. A short walk to town with excellent recommendations from the frond desk. Fell in love with Santa Margherita and will definitely be back and stay at Hotel Continental.

Ivan Switzerland

Absolutely loved the hotel, the breakfast was lovely out on the veranda! The staff were excellent and kindly upgraded us to a room with a balcony which made all the difference to our stay. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great during our stay so we couldn’t make the most of the private beach but it was absolutely gorgeous so I’d love to return and be able to use it!

Rachel United Kingdom
