Wonderful vacation

Hotel's Favourite
We just returned from a 3 week stay at this hotel.It was just what we needed after a stressful 2 yrs of not travelling anywhere due to Covid.We spent a lot of time here relaxing at their large pool and enjoying their delightful warm weather.The people here are amazing and made our stay very pleasant.The food at the veranda was outstanding and the staff here top notch.Room was ok but a little dated but the balcony overlooking the sea easily made up for the room.What a view to wake up to.
Thanks to everyone at Hotel Maga for the wonderful stay.Philip And Adriana Rollins

      Charming hotel! A stone's throw from the circeo port, where it is also possible to rent boats. Comfortable rooms, especially those with a balcony overlooking the sea. The food is excellent both in the restaurant and in the pension formula. Staff very kind. The swimming pool with crystal clear sea water is surrounded by palm trees. on one side the Circeo mountain on the other offers a splendid view of the Gulf of Gaeta. Quite close to Rome and other places of historical and artistic interest.

      The hotel is in a wonderful position but it has several defects that do not deserve four stars.
      - non drinkable water. When we arrived we were informed there was a problem with water and it was essential not to waste it. For this reason I asked if water was drinkable and they answered it was not and we had to buy our mineral water. I wonder, if I hadn’t asked would I have been left drinking non drinkable water? I travelled in over 100 countries and where ever water is not drinkable hotels give you water for free.
      - There is a swimming pool but it closes at 6.30 pm (in Summer!). Not only, we were told that we could not even swim in the sea in front of the hotel because there was no life guard!…. Of course we swam all the same. I guess that when you arrive at a hotel at Circeo at 6, you do want a nice swim.
      - Breakfast is typical old-style Italian, lots of sweets, a small dish of unattractive cheese and salami, no choice of cereals, juice out of a bottle (no fresh juice). Not a four-stars breakfast.
      - The bathroom has no shampoo or conditioner. The soap dispenser on the wash basin was very hard, I could get soap only squeezing with two hands and then of course I had no third hand to collect the coming soap…
      In conclusion not a great experience in a fabulous place.

      As written in the apology letter delivered to you upon your arrival, the owner of the water pipes (Acqualatina) suspended the water supply from 2 pm to 8 pm. We do not know that the water was not drinkable for this reason. In the letter that was delivered to you there were also instructions on how to behave to ensure that our water reserves of 20,000 liters were not exhausted before the resumption of service.
      Also for the indications relating to the swimming pool, we are pleased to point out that as our structure is close to the mountain, it goes in the shade at 6 pm, so the rescue service ends shortly after.
      Being an Italian you know for sure that this service is mandatory by law and and you should also know that according to italian laws it is not possible to prohibit swimming in the sea. But precisely because the rescue service is mandatory, we are required to inform you about the guaranteed timetables.
      We are sorry that you found useful not to provide these details in your review. But it is certainly very significant that you did.
      Last but not least, you booked a double with single use, but you were 2 people, actually: so much for having travelled in over 100 countries.
      Thanks for your opinion.

      Timeless elegance in a relaxing setting on the beach and by the gorgeous pool.

      Amazing location within the Lazio region and a place with magnificent historical background.

      We spent all our holidays at the Maga Circe’s Hotel which has excellent facilities for families. It is surrounded by lush and spectacular greenery, nature, plants, flowers, mountains and the turquoise blue sea.

      The views from the apartment located by the sea were gorgeous and peaceful. We loved having a spacious room balcony in which the Cape view and the sound of the sea were so relaxing and enjoyable. The hotel had a private beach too which allowed us to enjoy long walks and dips in the stunning turquoise blue sea.

      The pool was also very big and relaxing and the pool staff were all very friendly and helpful. The pool was cleaned daily and very well maintained. The apartment was large with plenty of space and modern looking with nice amenities.

      The venue offered all inclusive packages of breakfast, lunch and dinner and then menu choices changed daily. They had great selections to cater to all tastes and the prices were reasonable. The food for the kids was delicious. The restaurant staff were amazing and very attentive to all our needs. The food preparation and presentation was of high quality. The waiters, waitresses and the matron were all very friendly and very experienced. Furthermore, the hotel was well maintained and thoroughly clean.

      The reception staff were all very helpful and attentive to our needs and requests and helped organise many outings and bookings. We were so happy to spend our summer holidays there after two years of no travelling. The hotel is also great for weddings receptions and for any other events. It’s highly recommended for vacations.

      This seaside hotel takes one back to the time the structures there were built. I asked the owners and they date from 1930, 1956 and 1966. The place is a bit dated but full of charm and a decor of classic, good taste. The reception personnel were more than kind.

      Our room was a spacious, airy and clean facility with a fantastic sea view. Due to the fact that we were there at the start of the low season, there were not very many guests present on site.

      We strolled along the beach and thoroughly enjoyed this very nice hotel even though the outdoor swimming pool was closed.

      The beds were comfortable and large.

      We decided to eat dinner in the hotel. I have to admit, the food, service and atmosphere was wonderful. My portion of baked salmon fillets and vegetables was probably one of the tastiest meals I have ever had. It was gourmet +, absolutely delicious! The Chefs there are top notch professionals.

      This a a quaint. old style and classic hotel. We highly recommend a stay at this place.
