Booked our stay based on the majority positive reviews, and website images. Be prepared - the Diggi is nothing like what you see in the images on this site. Cons: no green lawns, all burnt soil, piles of dirty laundry on view, and the condition of main areas are majorly run down. It's clear that while the Diggi was once an awesome, historic property, due to its sprawling size and age, it is desperately in need of renovations. Especially the left wing rooms, which are dirty, with dank furniture, moth eaten curtains / rugs, and reminded me of a highway Super 8 motel or hostel (not the 5 star hotel we'd paid for). Distraught and disgusted after first night, we tried to switch hotels, but everything booked solid in high season. That said, after speaking with management, voicing our complaints, and changing rooms THREE times, we were placed in a gorgeous room right above the lobby. That room featured a spacious marble bathroom, nice furniture, and a fabulous garden terrace. It really, really matters which room you get there. For the pros, the staff is like a family, super sweet and kind, once you get into their rhythm. However, be prepared that this hotel is run-down, faded, and it REALLY matters which room you get. While location is great, and we can totally handle (and often enjoy) hotel quirks, we wouldn't book here again, nor is it worth the money paid. Hope whoever is controlling this property can invest back into it, because it could be so much better.
