Hotel information
This delightful Mediterranean-style resort is a complete recreation of the stylish Italian fishing village, built around a scenic lake and complete with quaint cobbled streets, lined with alfresco restaurants and bars.
You'll experience exquisite fine dining at BiCE Ristorante, while other delicious restaurants include the poolside Splendido Pizzeria and Mama Della's RistoranteSM next to the lake. Of the 3 pools, the Beach Pool, complete with castle water slide is a favourite with the children. The elegant, quiet pool is a wonderful place to go for relaxation and there's a beautiful Mandara Spa here with massages and treatments available for extra pampering*. On top of all this, you are in the middle of Universal Orlando Resort with COMPLIMENTARY transportation (although it's just a short riverside stroll away) and all kinds of fantastic benefits.
