Alma Nua

It was very loud at night. We had a very early flight to catch and we could hear everything outside. If you are going to stay out late then it won’t be a problem. Otherwise, the property was nice and close to everything!

First thing I'll say, my score is a *strong* 4/5. We spent about 1,5 week on Alma nua. Facilities: The room is cleaned every second day. The bathroom is top notch with shower, toilet, sink and window. The main room has a big beautiful window with the typical blinds (doors on the outside with slits for light) you see on all houses in Terassini. The view was toward the sea with the main road right beside. Wide balcony, great for hanging wet towels, etc. The bed is big, with big pillows. It's fairly hard, but we slept like rocks almost every night (the window blinds provide complete light prevention). There was also a couple of coffee tables, a chair and a big clauset with plenty of space. Oh and there's AC for those sweaty noons. We came here late june and were surprised by the lack of tourists. As I heard later on, Terassini is usually a town Italian tourists go, not international tourists. Anyhow we found there were almost no foreigners around. And this is a good tip for anybody travelling, but learn some basic phrases of the language they speek where you go. Most people in Terrasini don't speak, or don't want to speak, english. Besides, speaking italian is much more pleasant. Google translate app is your friend. However, when July arrived, more international tourists seemed to arrive. The hotel has a beautiful little roof terrace with microwave, sink, fridge, coffee, tea, plates and cutlery. It's open for all guests and has a beautiful view down the main road to the sea. Woth everything aside, the best feature about Alma nua might be it's host, Milena. She is very nice to interact with and talk to. And although we ate not the most social people she still made us feel like old friends. She was communicative and friendly while not being intrusive (for those afraid of that :) ). The whole experience felt very personal. It made me realize I don't know if I ever want to stay at a hotel again where the owners are a big company. There are a few (very nitpicky) downsides. Some of the blinds in the outer window doors were a little loose and hard to use. The road outside is not quiet friday and saturday. Many a youngling spend their time partying and playing music. Tip! Close all outer window doors along with all blinds. It helps a lot with the sound. All other days of the week were great... hm... anything else... the shower was a little slow at receiving hot water, not that you need it. Oh, good things again: big bottles of shampoo and shower gel in bathroom, and soap. Breakfast isn't served at the hotel, but at a nearby (2 min walk) beautiful café. You ger a coffee and a pastry/bread/sandwitch per day. Keep in mind you're not in northern europe, it's not ham and cheese sandwitches. Croissants and espresso smong other delicious things are served. It's really great stuff. Other: For transportation elsewhere, look for Segesta bus service (there's an app), but trust Milena for the bus stop location, not Segesta's website. Milena is right, Segest
