The Grand Hotel Astoria was built at the beginning of the 20th century, when Grado was the Habsburgers' and Middle European aristocracy's Summer resort, with the name of Hotel Lido. The Hotel knew glory and smartness being the seat of the local casino. It was completely rebuilt and reopened in 1991, continuing its role of hotel with style, quality and elegance, like an island in the island, for its completeness and quality of its services. Tradition and modernity, this is the philosophy of this 4 stars Hotel.
The main restaurant is located on the mezzanine floor and offers the best of the mediterranean flavors and cuisine, with a rich variety of buffet appetizers and homemade pastries. Despite the classical restaurant, there is the exclusive "Settimo Cielo" panoramic restaurant located in the 7° floor, with an amazing view of the sea, the old town and the splendid lagoon, where you can taste the scent of the typical products creatively combined by our Chef. The traditional "Osteria al Gial" , a warm and cozy place to taste the typical wines and snacks of Grado and Friuli.
The Grand Hotel Astoria's Marine Thermal Baths represent a medical supervised Thalassotherapic and Physiotherapeutic Centre, where are practiced treatments which essentially use the therapeutic benefits of seawater and physiokinesitherapy.
Hotel is in a very good location, very close to the sea and with direct access to the old town.
The hotel staff is extremely courteous, speaks German and is very friendly.
We had a very nice and very clean junior suite. Breakfast ok. The dinner we took outside. Our car was in good hands in the always supervised garage.
We would come back anytime.
The GC Grado was in good condition and the staff very friendly. Only the first three lanes were not in perfect condition and gave reason for criticism.
The GC Lignano was just perfect. Friendly staff, great, very well-kept place, highly recommended.
Good, quiet location of the hotel in second row. Art Nouveau-old building complex rebuilt from the 80's of Zimmerfügeln. First impression very good. Very nice entrance, lobby. Room 226 we only used one night. The window of the room is located at the height of a roof with ventilators, therefore unpleasant odors and noises. We asked for a different room and uncomplicated for 20.- Euro extra per night a room with side sea view. Staff very friendly. We also speak German.
Quality of the breakfast offer rather moderate. Dinner okay. Very nice and well stocked bar at civilian prices. Garage with friendly garages, which understand something of their profession.
Golf course Grado welcomes you with a nice, well-equipped clubhouse and very friendly staff, which also well with rush of mostly Austrian or local guests. The very well maintained, fairly flat place has in itself, lots of water and doglegs. Wonderful, usually strongly ondulated, moderately fast greens. Get enough balls for the first time! Exercise facilities okay, the chipping greens are at tee-off 1, not at the clubhouse or the driving range.
Hotel is right next to the old town and the beach 5 minutes walk away. Our room was clean and clean. The furniture could be renewed. The dinner was exquisite. What I did not find was that you have to pay for the beach. For a 4 star hotel this should be the hotel.
Golf course: just with lots of water, is next to the sea, which is very nice. There are very many wild geese on the square. They do not disturb. It sometimes only disturbs the "droppings" of the geese on parts of the square.
