Posia Retreat & SPA | UNA Esperienze

Lovely hotel in great location for san foca and exploring locally. Staff were excellent, very attentive and helped us arrange a pasta making class in a nearby Masseria Cinque Santi. There is a beach club close to the hotel that was €30 for two, it was lovely and you could charge food and drink back to the hotel. The hotel also has tai swimming pools. The rooftop one which had sea view has to be booked as there is only space for about 10 people. We were there in June and it wasn’t too busy. The offer valet parking for €20 a day which we used but you could park nearby. Food there and drinks were really nice and close by to other food places too. Alessia on reception spoke to us about the Masseria and was really helpful in arranging - we drove there and had the best experience of our holiday at the pasta making class and tour of the working farm. We also had great massages in the spa one evening which were so relaxing and spa facilities were lovely too. Would recommend and would go back.

This is a beautiful resort across the street from the sea. As I entered the resort, I felt an immediate sense of calm. The ambievence, lighting, staff - were all very "there" for me. My stay was great. The room was super comfortable, the view of the sea incredible, the spa...well...I am just starting to come back to life 4 days later! Dominico in the restaraunt, in the morning was super attentive - to everyone! I think he speaks several languages. The breakfast bar had all sorts of items in addition to having bacon and eggs (and other great items) available. Anna and Frederica provided the best spa treatments that I have had in a long time! The spa area was so clean, comforting, and relaxing. Would have received 5 stars if it weren't for the fruit flies that enjoy wine about as much as I do. In addition, they need a supply of "larger" robes - one size does not fit all.

My husband and I traveled to Puglia in September 2024. Our trip began with two nights in Matera then on to the coast where we stayed at the Posia Retreat and Spa. We booked a Deluxe Room based on the sites’s inviting and simple photo . Unfortunately the room in reality was far less desirable with an industrial mostly concrete view. We upgraded at an additional $100 per night to a sea view room which was lovely. Important to note is that while the Posia boasts in its brochure of an outdoor heated infinity pool it is false advertising . In warm weather this is likely not an issue but in cooler weather in order to have access to its only on site heated pool , which is located in its spa , you have to pay an additional cost of $90 per person per day for that access. A room charge already at $500 a night with such an additional cost feels like “ nickel and diming” and is unbecoming of a property that would like to be viewed with elegance. Included breakfast was generous and staff was helpful.

Very clean, modern, boutique hotel with 2 pools and situated across from the beach. The vibe is causal/hip, the staff is very gracious and accommodating. Great complimentary breakfast but the lunch and dinner restaurant menu is limited. There are causal seaside type restaurants nearby. The highlight is the spa which is really fantastic with knowledgeable well trained therapists. My massage and facial were both exceptional. Definitely a must during your stay.

This beachfront property in San Foca is absolutely lovely. We booked for two nights at the end of our two week trip to Italy with the idea of relaxing on the beach after lots of sightseeing and it was absolutely perfect. The level of service at this hotel is excellent and something I wish many of the high end hotels in the US would return to. I would say there is an average of two hotel staff members to every guest. The hotel is very modern with beautiful, spacious rooms and bathrooms. We were on the second floor with a large balcony overlooking the ocean. There are two pools, one on the rooftop with and one on the first floor at the back of the hotel which was nice the day we arrived as it was windy and that one is sheltered more from the wind. There is also a pool at the spa but we did not visit the spa during our stay. We dined in the restaurant the first evening for dinner and the food and service were fantastic. We also elected to include breakfast each day in our stay and it was top notch. In addition to a huge spread of pastries and fruit, there cooked to order options from the menu included. And as with everything else, the service was quick and delivered with a smile. We also spent a day at their club, Mora Mora. The service was on point and the water and beach there are beautiful. It looks like the Carribean sea! We did not have a good meal at the restaurant there, however. We both ordered the tuna poke bowl and it was not good. The tuna was quickly seared outside but the inside was not cooked (as expected) and the color was not normal -gray brown instead of bright pink. It also had a very fishy taste so neither my husband or I ate it, fearing it may make us sick. We did not say anything to the waiter (my husband will never send food back!) so I'm not sure what they would have done, and the waiter did not comment on the fact that neither of us ate anything. The town of San Foca did seem a little sleepy and there are some storefronts that looked to be closed but we were there before the "season" started so that may be the reason. The hotel itself is everything we expected and more. I can't over state the wonderful service we received from Alessia and the other team members. I would highly recommend this property and hope to return.
