Porto Senigallia - Penelope Statue Tours and Activities

I joined my wife in Italy. She had been in Matelica for two weeks and needed to stay one additional week. Since I did not have business in Matelica we decided that we would find a place outside of the town where I could relax. Based on reviews we selected Borgo Lanciano. The property is large and very well kept. The room was spacious and overlooked the outdoor pool with a view toward the hills. Perhaps it was because the season had not yet begun, but the hotel was empty. We would breakfast, which was included, in a lovely dining room and then I drove my wife into Matelica, a 15 minute drive. After dropping her off I returned to Borgo Lanciano where depending on the weather I either would spend time sitting by the indoor pool, the outdoor pool, ot a large, well appointed sala relax (a large sitting area with many easy chairs and sofas). There was a restaurant at which we ate on one occasion though it did not really cater to my wife's tastes; she is a vegetarian. There also is a spa which offers massages, facials and the like.

Beautiful location, steps away from the sandy beach, close to town centre and all the attractions. Delicious breakfast. Very clean rooms, friendly staff. Unfortunately the swimming pool was closed during our stay and it was one of the reasons I booked the hotel and when booking I contacted the hotel to check if the swimming pool is open and they said yes it will be open during our stay. But it was closed. Very disappointing for the children.
