Hotel not recommended. We spent three nights in this hotel, it was impossible to swim in the pool because of mosquitoes and garbage around the property. There are dogs barking all night 500 meters from the hotel and to crown it all at the end of the third day, power failure so no shower or toilet... We left the hotel but so we had paid for the whole week and we never got refunded for the difference despite our revivals.

It's a terrible stay.

It's a beautiful structure, a shame for the amount of food and absolutely poor service!! None of what was previously agreed with the owners, for a private party, was respected.

It's bad.

A star is too much, both on TripAdvisor and as a hotel category, a bad experience that I wouldn't recommend even the worst of enemies try. Tiresome service, hospitality, and nonexistent cordiality seem like the bad copy of The Word in a tragic comedy film more tragic than comic.

Personalized Corruption

Accidentally in this hotel, my wife and I plunge into a surreal dream... a little boy welcomes us to the reception, a friendly all-rounder who speaks a stented Italian takes us into the room acting as a gardener, a parker, a waiter, a bather and a guard; a flying dog runs between the restaurant and the pool while from afar the echo of a litany from the country for the patronage party makes us seriously think we've been drugged.

Surrealism made in Bitetto

Stayed here for a week in July 2017. The rooms were nice and were cleaned daily. Air conditioning worked, but the rooms remained a bit humid. I signed onto the wifi in the room, and although I connected successfully, the wifi didn't work at all - I had to use the other wifi network down in the lobby and the hallway. 

This hotel is only a couple of years old, and I think it needs to work on branding itself more as a hotel. The small pool can be used by the public for a fee, so for the entire week we were there, there were about a dozen non-hotel guests and lots of noisy kids hanging around. They minded their own business - but my family and I felt like we were crashing someone else's private summer retreat. 

The staff consisted of about 3 men, as far as I could tell. They were indistinguishable from the guests. They were all polite and accommodating, even preparing my mom a cappuccino past 1 AM. We were given a choice between a sweet or savory breakfast. Our sweet breakfast consisted of some juices, biscuits, one cornetto each, and unlimited coffee. No other food or snacks available beyond breakfast. Very basic and simple. Their restaurant seems reserved for catered events. 

Location is very out of the way, but at night you can see their big red HOTEL sign from the highway. It's up a kind of creepy dirt road that passes multiple other properties. 

I wouldn't recommend this hotel for families looking for an abundance of comfort. But if you're young and flexible and like hanging out at the pool all day, this place is for you.

*bonus - the owner has an adorable pug puppy. 
*note - if you're afraid of little lizards, I spotted a couple in the stairwell and even one in our room which quickly fled. Also were plenty of flies and mosquitos in the lobby, but it is the countryside after all.

An interesting place.

When we entered the rooms, we were not welcomed warmly, they were wet, they were not even airtight, the air conditioners were not working, the hallways were also wet, the owner did not even show up after the repeated calls from a worker. He pretended to have been in a car accident.

Badly run hotel

Hotel San Giacomo is located in a beautiful corner of paradise: trees with thick green shoots await guests to give them some freshness and hide the structure from the surrounding countryside. A garden, a swimming pool and a lot of fresh air are ideal for enjoying beautiful afternoons of relaxation, sipping a fresh drink. The owner and staff are kind and available, the rooms are comfortable and cozy, furnished with modern style. A pleasant surprise is also given by the kitchen of the restaurant: we rarely ate so much in a hotel structure. Really congratulations to all the staff, always kind and available. Highly recommended!

Pleasant discovery.

I have already written one review but it is not showing up! The place was not ready for the season as you can see from the photos. Traffic noise, no air con in room, no bin, noisy fridge, ladder on our balcony. The restaurant made a meal, obviously rustled up from the contents of the fridge with one glass of wine and charged us E20 each! Ham, salami, grilled cougette, pasta and fruit.In the morning there was a knock on the door and the reception chap please pay I have to go now!

Terrible not tranquil

Since we were the only ones there, and most services were in abeyance for the off-season, it was a little "The Shining" -ish, but the location was convenient for us and our plans, and the gentleman who took care of us was very kind and helpful. We had a nice balcony with a view over an olive grove, and the room was spacious. It would be nice if the towels were not the old-fashioned thin linen type, but we ran into this in several hotels on our south Italy trip, we just had to use them all!

not a spring place

This hotel is near my birthplace, the adjoing town.However, it is in an obscure and difficult to find location in the middle of nowhere.The tiny dirt road is a two way road but in reality it barely has room for one small Italian car and it has loads of dumped garbage and unsightly filth. 

I am not sure how this place is a four star rated hotel, perhaps a payoff of some kind?
When we checked in, the lobby reaked of smelly stale cigar smoke. There were signs "VIETATO FUMARE" no smoking allowed. Obviously,It didn't apply to the hotel management.
I did complain to Ernesto, owner/director. His response: "I only smoke outside"

This hotel is four years old but the mattress is the original and extremely uncomfortable; therefore, along with the horrible scent of cigar smoke, a very bad night's sleep.
The hot water was an issue. I complained to Ernesto and he fixed it.However, the next day while in the middle of showering, the water stopped flowing completely.
 
We decided to depart three days before our scheduled departure because of what we experienced.Ernesto was upset with me because he was "losing there days of bookings". Ironically, we were the only guests in his hotel during our stay.

He billed us for breakfast.I questioned the billing, and he said : "No, breakfast is not included in the rate.".I checked out the web site later, and it clearly states that breakfast is included in the quoted daily rate.
He deceived me and billed us 40 Euros for two days of breakfast at checkout.

This place appears to be modern and well kept but the reality is different.
I am perplexed that it received four stars; definitely a ruse created by Ernesto.Probably, all the positive reviews are posted by locals or friends--don't give them any credibility.
Avoid this poorly managed "hotel".
