Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is truly magical, offering spotlessly clean and well-equipped rooms with a convenient concealed kitchenette. It was a perfect place to change before our transfer, providing everything needed for a comfortable stay. The dedicated and enthusiastic staff, particularly Giancarlo, Nino, and Mateo, made our time special and wonderful. The location is breathtaking, just a few minutes away from the heart of the city and perfect for enjoying the ocean and nature. The dining experience was exactly what I expected, with a good variety and extended options for Italian standards.
The hotel offers rooms that are not big but spotlessly clean and well-equipped with a hidden kitchenette featuring a microwave and hob, providing a beautiful view. The service is extremely nice, welcoming, and service-minded, especially thanks to Giancarlo, Nino, and Mateo who made our stay wonderful. The location is amazing, with individual bungalows cascading down the rock face almost to the sea edge, providing great views and privacy. The dining options are vast and satisfying, offering a variety of local delicacies. Despite being a bit run down, the hotel stands out for its unique setting and excellent service.
