What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Badia Grande offers a mixed bag, particularly its cinema. While some visitors have found recent improvements in comfort and enjoy the unique setting, others point to persistent issues with cleanliness, temperature control, and dated facilities. The cinema's location can be hard to find, and event schedules may not always be reliable.
"Ok 👌"
Antonino Cutruneo
"We saw Jurassic World. The theater was small, but everything was fine. Compared to previous reviews, the air conditioning was good, and the emergency lighting was dim. The only disappointment was that, despite the movie being advertised, it wasn't available. If they had reported it on Facebook or the website, we wouldn't have made the trip. The entrance is to the left of the church in the small square."
Carlo Riccardo Sberna
"We went to this cinema, and since we're not local, it was difficult to find on foot because there were no illuminated signs of any kind, no directions, or anything else to help us understand where it was.
We had to ask a few people.
Inside the theater, there were several negative points:
- The cleanliness of the theater leaves much to be desired (dirt, bottles, and popcorn on the floor).
- The emergency exit lights are so bright and annoying that they ruin the movie.
- The leather or imitation leather seats are from the 1980s.
- No air conditioning, even slightly turned on, so it was cold.
Currently, for €7.50 a ticket, there are much more modern, comfortable, and better-maintained theaters.
Subsequent visits were no better.
One of the theaters was even worse; if you're allergic to dust, it's absolutely not recommended, at least until someone does the urgent and necessary work to improve it.
- The entire theater smells of mold and damp;
- When the air conditioning was turned on, it felt like being in the engine room of a ship. The loud, squeaking noise of the fans almost drowned out the entire audio of the movie.
- You go from a cold room to a hot, headache-inducing room.
- The picture is blurry.
- The curtain is so damaged that you can see the ripples while watching the movie.
Unfortunately, it seems none of the owners are interested in improving the situation.
Awful experience."
