Very relaxing spa but not on average spa's staff: we did a foot's massage, but we weren't so satisfied cause the massage was too short in our opinion and above all the masseuse was not so able! Restaurant very good and maitre polite and kind. Quality of food: very good. Very interesting cost for the... More

Spent there a very relaxing couple of days. Have not tried the restaurant (but for the breakfast which was awesome!!!). The spa is ok, just a shower not working perfectly and some guests are not nice when the leave their towel on the chaise-longues to secure their place! The room had a massive bed and was big and clean in... More

Great room. great location, great food, wonderful spa. Friendly staff and attentive attendants. Only negative is the front facing room overlooked the bar outdoor area so we heard some chatter until late at night on a hot summer evening.

I've stayed at the Helvetia many times in the past few years. It's is convenient and nicely decorated. The staff is always extremelly friendly and helpful, and they go out of their way to help you. Restaurant is very good, although for authentic italian cuisine there are other options around. The rooms are... well, they're comfortable, but a little strange!... More

I spent 4 days at Helvetia Hotel and I can say it's a good place, but they need still to improve their offer to be an outstanding experience. Hotel building outside is very nice (a big old building well refurbished), but inside, in my opinion, there are too many different styles: room and bathroom are quite wide, but their style... More

Everything is very clean and I liked the extras such as self service free herbal tea by the poolside, dressing gowns/sandals and an exfoliation sponge in your bedroom to use in... More

I have stayed at the Helvetia a few times over past 1 year, the last being in April. Its a wonderful hotel just across the rail station. It is clearly the best choice in Porretta. While I have been a business traveller and had not experienced the spa, a brief visit there inspired me to give it a try this... More

Overall this was an excellent, above my expectations experience. We got a package of 3 days and 2 nights that included a 50 minute body massage, a 30 minute water treatment that they explained as "water cuddling" (highly recommended). We added on 25 minute massages to our package and ate all of our meals at the hotel. The only parts... More
