Palace Hotel San Michele

We stayed in a suite--sitting area with sofa and chair between door and bedroom area. Nicely appointed. We did not use the swimming pool or spa. There is a pleasant bar with outdoor tables on a patio with a view down to the Adriatic. Breakfast tables are on the same patio. The hotel restaurant was a great deal--25 Euros for pasta, main, contorno, and dessert. Pretty sure that it's the best option in Monte Sant'Angelo, a delightful place to stay in the Gargano.

Room was spacious and air conditioning worked well. Hotel was a little dated and towels were like tablecloths. Pool was nice and access to beach chairs and umbrella was a bonus.

Hotel was brilliant and location brilliant only downside was we wanted to stay one more night and they gave us price and next morning they put price up and they weren’t helpful so we left bit disappointed but nice place

This hotel is beautifully situated at the highest point of Monte SantʼAngelo. The view on the coastline of Puglia is truly gorgeous. You can feel that this hotel used to be very chic and full of grandeur, but nowadays it exudes faded glory. Everything feels a bit dated and the rooms could use a make-over. The shower for example is so very small, that I can't imagine how a bigger person could fit into it. The towels were more akin to bed sheets, very thin and not soft at all. The room was clean and the airco works very well. We were shocked to find that the little water bottles in the mini fridge were not complementary, but would cost us two euros. The wifi is very slow. We had dinner once in the restaurant of the hotel. The food was good, but not exceptional. The service should really be better though. Again: everything looked very chic, but the service wasn't attentive at all. For example: we ordered a bottle of sparkling wine and the waiter did not bring us a wine cooler for the bottle. They took away my cutlery after I finished the first course and just forgot to bring me new cutlery for my main dish. Since nobody noticed me signing for attention, I had to take cutlery from a table next to me to eat my food. We also used the wellness. At first glance everything looked very beautiful, but quickly we noticed that a lot of functionalities just didn't work and some of the small tiles in the swimming pool had come loose en just lay around on the bottom of the swimming pool. The breakfast buffet had lots of options to choose from. The system was not efficient however. You had to queue and ask the staff for what you wanted to eat. I noticed a big language barrier when the guests tried to communicate with the staff. Most of the staff could not speak English. The view from the breakfast room is excellent. The hotel has a lot of parking space and a beautiful swimming pool with a splendid view. The hotel also offers the possibility to visit a private beach, a twenty minutes drive from the hotel. I recommend visiting the beach, which is very nice.
