We chose Casa d’Irene out of several options due to its beautiful branding and design, presenting a clean high level experience. Which is not exactly what we had, nor what we expected from the definition of Deluxe.
The hotel is new, clean. The receptionist was exceptionally kind. Though the infrastructure is nothing close to deluxe. Located next to an industrial site, with a constant noice, the space has a very poor spatial design, with rooms having no direct sunlight nor view. Interiors are well designed, though logistic issues exist: the room had no toilet paper, the shower leaked. Not a deluxe feeling. Cleaners woke us up in the morning while loudly working around the room. Breakfast was good, offered in a beautiful terrace - yet not suitable for this weather! No internal space was available despite the windy, rainy day. Great food, though local elements should be prioritized and valued. Both in the breakfast buffet, and in the toilet supply, single use plastics and small containers should be forbidden - it’s 2023. Your identity, messaging on reducing the usage of towels, UNESCO commitments totally clash with plastic.
Recommended? Yes, if the term Deluxe is dropped.
