Wow, what can we say. My husband and I have just recently returned from Italy where we married on the beach at the hotel Ambasciatori. This place is not only beautiful, but extremely Italian not well known to the British at all, which for us was where it held most of its charm - not some holiday resort owned and organised by some big holiday company. Julie, who owns the hotel with her Italian husband, is American, so communication and language barriers were not a problem when booking and organising our wedding. She was brilliant in getting back to us via text and e-mail to answer the many questions we had along the whole way, as well as corresponding with many of our guests when they were booking accommodation.
All of our guests stayed at the hotel, where we married on the beach and had the reception, and everyone couldn't have spoken higher of the staff and facilities. The food was of a high standard, with a range of choices every night for dinner and for breakfast. Orders for dinner were taken the day before so ingredients could be purchased fresh the following day, and any hot food requested at breakfast, such as scrambled eggs, you needed to ask for, again so that these were cooked fresh. A big mention and thanks in particular to Ricardo, the only waiter who spoke English, so helped a lot with our requests in...Wow, what can we say.

A big mention and thanks in particular to Ricardo, the only waiter who spoke English, so helped a lot with our requests in the restaurant, but who went out of his way to accommodate dietary requirements & preferences for various members of our party. When many of our guests arrived late one night on their flight from England, we asked if we could have some glasses of prosecco ready for their arrival. Ricardo was just finishing his shift, but stayed to ensure everyone received what they needed and to help translate to other members of staff any requests we had. This included providing a light supper for them, even when the kitchen had closed, as they arrived hungry. The only flights direct to here to Pescara are from Stansted, but as that meant most people arrived and left on the same flight we were able to arrange a minibus for them which Julie at the hotel organised for us, taking away the stress of any transfers for our guests and for ourselves.
We just felt this hotel worked extremely well for the needs of our wedding party, where ages of family members ranged from a 6mth old baby to relatives in their 80's. The use of free bikes was also a big hit with many members of our wedding party, who used them daily to cycle into the main town and back (10 min cycle) using the cycle path just at the back of the hotel. Everyone got on and I think the location worked perfectly when bringing a group of people together. Thank you so much to Julie & your staff for all your hard work during our week stay at your hotel and for giving us the most fantastic day which we will never forget. We definitely plan to return.More
