Cala del Porto Punta Ala, Tuscany (Preferred Hotels & Resorts: L.V.X. Collection)

We spent three wonderful nights at Cala del Porto Punta in a suite overlooking the sea, and it couldn’t have been better. The staff were so kind and welcoming, and the hotel was spotless and beautifully kept. The swimming pool was big, sparkling clean, and perfect for relaxing in the afternoons. Housekeeping went above and beyond, even restocking our coffee and water twice a day — such a thoughtful touch. It was a perfect, memorable stay, and we can’t wait to return.

We had an amazing stay at Cala del Porto Punta Ala. The staff were warm, welcoming, and made everything feel effortless. The setting is beautiful - overlooking the marina with incredible views and that unmistakable Tuscan charm. The bar by the pool was one of our favorite spots - relaxed, stylish, and perfect for an evening drink before dinner. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent, with fresh, local ingredients and great attention to detail. It’s the kind of place where you instantly unwind and feel completely taken care of. Truly a special hotel - calm, elegant, and full of heart.

We stayed in one of their suites for three nights and had a wonderful time. The suite was spacious, clean, and had a nice view on the harbor (and also a bit towards the sea which, I guess, is why they call it "sea view suite"). The entire staff was super friendly, personal, yet professional. They are close to the harbor (which has a tiny beach...) but offer a shuttle service to a near-by, bigger beach which worked flawlessly, too.|If you want to walk to a nice beach this is suboptimal. If you want to enjoy the peace of a luxus hotel and spend the evening at their bar, watching the sunset - this is a great choice! (Their restaurant is also pretty good, btw).

We arrived at this hotel and were greeted warmly. Strange welcome drink ….there was a bottle of bubbly and bottles of water. We were only offered water! Expected slightly more from a 5* hotel.|We were then taken to our room which had a lovely view of the marina. However, when we looked in the bathroom, the bottom of the bath was badly chipped and rusty just where you would stand to take a shower. The bath taps were also rusty and there was a hair ( not ours!) in one of the basins. To be fair, staff acted quickly and very kindly upgraded us to a lovely suite. |The pool was well tended with a life guard and the surrounding garden and flowers were spectacular.|Our main gripe was not the quality of the food ( which was absolutely delicious) but the monotony of the menu that did not change for the four nights we were there.|I ate the same main course three times. The wine was well chilled but expensive.|I would recommend booking bed and breakfast, eating in once or twice and then sampling the many restaurants in the marina. Breakfast was good with plenty of fruit etc on offer. There is scrambled egg and bacon but if you want eggs cooked a different way, it is extra.|The hotel provides a free shuttle service to the beach resort of Hildago which is about 5 minutes away. The hotel can book your sun beds ( they have a concession of three pitches) for 50 euros per day. We did this once but on the second day, the hotel had no sun beds left so we booked direct with Hildago at a cost of 45 euros per day. Probably best to book direct with the beach resort then!|We didn’t think that this hotel merited 5*’s as obviously some upgrading is needed and there should be a better choice at dinner.|What we would say is that the staff are lovely, especially all the girls on the front desk who are always friendly, smiling and helpful.
