The view was spectacular - What dreams of a Mediterranean holiday are made of! The location is perfect, i.e. right on the water about 400 meters from the center of town and just around the bay from the nearest beach. Unfortunately, the hotel restaurant was not open during my stay (pre-season) but full cooked breakfast is available at local restaurants at very reasonable cost (<EUR10). I wish I had stayed longer!
The outdoor furniture on the balcony needs to be part of the daily cleaning routine. Hot water was lacking.

Room was clean, very nice view of the sea in a nice sized terrace. The restaurant downstairs has delicious food nice ambiance and nice view too. The location is not inside the city center, so you might need to walk a little bit for some night life, but with all the options the hotel offers, you may not even need to leave.
The shower had very low flow of water, and very small cabin, for tall person is a bit unconformable. A few furniture looks old and some details could be easily fix, like elevator ceiling still partially wrapped with the steel protection. Just details but kept me wondering way leave such simple thing in a great hotel like that. And the restaurant does not allow you to stay in the best tables close to the sea if you have not made a reservation. We asked for it, but not allowed. We stayed there for 2 hours, leaving around 11pm and 3 tables were empty since we arrived. But they treated us well and the food was good, so once again details, but we were in honey moon, so some details make a diference in special moments. Breakfast was ok.

The location is spectacular. Positioned just 13 min walk from the city center and with a stunning view of the harbor on the left and sunset on the right. Sleeping with the window open gave us the possibility to fall asleep with the sound of the waves. The restaurant on the ground floor, despite the few reviews on Google Maps has great pizza (I am Italian and I also make pizza) so trust me
Only a couple of things were not perfect and they both come from breakfast: coffee was really meh.. and the yogurt was of a very low quality (my husband said the milk inside of it was coming from Romania). Nothing against Romania but there are many cheap yogurts with milk that don't travel for miles to arrive at our tables.

I loved the location, the stunning view from my window and the melody 🎶 of the sea 🌊 over the night. The staff, starting from the gardener, then the receptionists, the breakfast assistant and the lady who looks after the rooms, all were so welcoming,helpful and extremely kind people. The breakfast was lovely and I was pleased to try even one new for me Mediterranean vegetable pickled in olive oil. Delicious! I would highly recommend this place. Thank you so much xxx
I am sure the managers are working hard to make it even more pleasant for the once yet to come.

Beautiful location situated right on the water. Short 10 minute walk into the main town. Free parking on site. Large spacious rooms with big windows looking out at the water. Beds were comfortable.
Given the price of the place. We were expecting a few more options for breakfast, was a bit disappointing. No hot options (eggs, bacon etc) or cut up fruit.

Great (helpful and accommodating) staff, gorgeous location, delicious breakfast, comfortable room & balcony, very good AC
Wifi was in and out (staff said it was an area-wide issue). Also, although the location of the hotel is beautiful, walking in to town or to the local beach required walking on a few narrow roads w/ no sidewalks where Italians are sometimes driving quite fast. We had a toddler in a stroller and didn’t always feel 100% safe.

Excellent view from the room and included a terrace, very spacious bathroom and room, bed was comfortable and breakfast very good, a short walk into the town centre, hotel has some nice character
Very light bedding, the screen over the window onto the balcony got stuck, wifi password was not in the room, some hairs around the bedding from previous guests

This Hotel was a delight. From the minute we arrived we the staff were so welcoming. The room was small but very clean with a nice balcony overlooking the sea . In the morning we could watch the town come to life . Then the restaurant!! Incredible food and again the staff were outstanding. We have been traveling for a long time and this hotel is a favorite.
Everything was perfect

The location and The reception people of the desk
On breakfast the employee refused to let me full my personal water bottle to take in a rispid way. Obliged me to drink in a glass at the table or pay for a new water bottle. Should be fired! Shame! Fortunately, the help desk reception Laura went to my room and gave me a water bottle for free.

Located right next to the sea. Eating breakfast with the best view. Very clean and super nice staff!
Bed was worn down and not to comfortable, but still manageable. Would not work for to long of a stay but manageable for few days. Very few parking spaces.
