Smeraldo Suites & Spa
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Smeraldo is worth booking if you want the best-rated hotel in our San Benedetto del Tronto sample, right on the seafront, at a price that is high for the town but modest for a luxury pick. Skip it if surprise extras annoy you, as guests report separate charges for parking, the spa and beach access.

This is our Luxury pick for San Benedetto del Tronto. Our rules give 5-star hotels priority, but a 4-star can take the slot if it scores at least 8.5, and Smeraldo clears that with 9.0. The property lists a spa, a pool, a gym, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace and family rooms, plus a beachfront listing.
It suits couples and families who want the sea on the doorstep and some facilities on site. A pets tag appears in our data, though the policy and fees are not confirmed. If you want the lowest total bill, our Best Value pick is cheaper and scores only slightly lower.
Location and getting around
The address is Lungomare Rinascimento 141. Guests describe a seafront setting on the promenade with direct beach access and sea views. The location score is 9.3 out of 10.
The San Benedetto del Tronto Lighthouse is about 3.1 km away, around 39 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. That is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi if you want to go there. We have no verified walking times to other sights. Parking exists but guests say it costs extra, so ask for the price before you arrive.
What guests say
The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 1,741 reviews, joint first of the 6 eligible hotels in the sample. Breakfast earns strong praise: guests describe an abundant buffet with a wide range of sweet, savoury and homemade options. The seafront position is the other highlight.
On value, guests are split. They call the room rates reasonable, but extra charges for parking, the spa and beach access add up. Room size, noise and renovation state have not been assessed.
Price and what you get against our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults was €123.90 a night, against a sample median of €93.08. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 eligible hotels in San Benedetto del Tronto. Smeraldo tied for the best guest score, has a large review base and met the 4-star fallback rule for our Luxury slot. Its price is above the median, but not by a wide margin for what is listed.
Before you book
Ask for the cost of parking, spa entry and beach access, since guests flag all three as extras. Check whether the pool, spa and beach services operate in November. Confirm whether breakfast is included and read the cancellation terms. Ask about the pet policy if it applies.
