"I booked a stay with Hotel Sesmones for the USA F3J team while we were in Italy to compete at the FAI F3J World Championships. Our booking was for 5 rooms. Another part of the team booked an apartment and rooms as well.
The property is absolutely beautiful. It gives off the Italian villa vibe. There is plenty of open space to relax and enjoy down time. The hotel is only a short walk to several restaurants and a wonderful gelato shop. If you're there for a longer stay, like we were, there are grocery stores and other shopping close by.
The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. Our rooms were cleaned daily and the bathrooms had the towels refreshed as well. Our competition was in a large field so I would come back and have dirty shoes. They even vacuumed every day.
We paid for the breakfast option. It was a nice buffet style with a good selection of hot and cold foods. The coffee options, espresso, were excellent! The restaurant staff were also extremely accommodating. Our competition started early each morning. They would have the restaurant ready generally 30 minutes earlier than they advertised. This was extremely helpful for us. Dinners did require reservations since the restaurant is quite popular for events. There is a small bar where you can order a beer or a glass/bottle of wine and sit outside without needing a reservation.
I cannot overstate how happy the team was with our stay. If I ever make it back to Lodi I will be staying again!"
