![]() The rooms are compact but very clean and comfortable with a small balcony with plastic table and chairs. It's better used as a space to cool off in at the end of a hot day on the beach. This closes between 2-4:30pm every day and there is very little shade or space around the edge of the pool to relax. The hotel has a small pool with unmarked shallow end with a few chairs and sun loungers surrounding it. There is a beach shower but not many toilet facilities nearby (the only one being attached to a bar a very short way down the beach). The beach is gently sloping and the sea is clear and very shallow for a fair distance off shore. The life guard in charge of that section of beach will provide deck chairs for other members of your family should you need them. Two sun loungers and a beach umbrella are included in the price of the room in the hotel's dedicated space on the beach. A two minute schlep from the beach, it's situated on a quite one way street (but those with young children be warned - there is parking on both sides of the road and no pavement). This is a small family run hotel in the fabulous little resort of San Vincenzo. I would love to stay at La Coccinella again and would definately recomend this hotel. There is a railway station and we travelled to Rome for about 16 Euros each way per person. J Thomas bar serves specialist cocktails and overlooks the marina. San Vincenzo town is about 15 minutes walk away and is a lovely place with lots of shops, bars and restaurants. The rooms were cleaned every day and the towels changed. The room was modern with air conditioning and a balcony overlooking the gardens. They have been to La Coccinella every year for the past 20 years! This speaks volumes in any language. We were the only English at the hotel, and I think the only English in San Vincenzo, but we met with a German couple who spoke good English. You can boil your eggs to your liking in a water boiler with wire egg dunkers. Breakfast is very nice and you can sit on the verandah in the sunshine. The staff are very helpful and friendly, especially Emilie the spotty dog! The staff do not speak much English but are patient, and with lots of hand waving and bits of French and Italian we got by. There is plenty of room in the car park and there is a small pool and some nice garden areas to relax. For evenning meals the Blue Marlin on the main road is a must and you get 10% discount for being a guest at La Coccinella. There is a private area on the beach with parasols and sun beds exclusively for the use of guests of La Coccinella at no cost. A small hotel with great charm just a minute's walk to a beautiful sandy beach. La Coccinella at San Vincenzo fitted the bill and more. After spending a hectic week sightseeing in the heart of Tuscany we were all 'cultured up' and needed to relax for a week. ![]()
