Buca di Bacco

Rooms

Rooms at the Buca di Bacco are calming, with local, historical touches. The vast majority of the rooms and suites have views of the sea. The balconies are a lovely touch and the rooms are a good size with air-conditioning and bright marble bathrooms. As the property is built over different levels, all the rooms have their distinct shape and character; some offer views of the Church’s golden dome, and others look out on to the quaint communal gardens, dotted with banana plants and bougainvillea.

Location

Steps from the beach and under five minutes’ walk to the central church of Santa Maria Assunta, Hotel Buca di Bacco hits the mark in terms of location. On arrival, car access stops half way up the hill. So, you’ll need to meander down steps to the hotel but you’ll soon get used to these pleasant winding routes that lead you to the best restaurants and shops.

Food and drink

The Buca di Bacco restaurant is almost as well known as the hotel, and is one of only a few restaurants right on the beach. It serves fresh, delicious seafood as well as meat dishes and local specialities and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is also a second restaurant beneath called The Veranda, run by the same chef.

Facilities and activities

Although this hotel does not have a swimming pool, it is very close to the water if you want to cool off in the sea. Cooking classes are offered in the afternoons for adults and children aged ten and upwards. They last two hours.
