The hotel is ideally located within walking distance of the seafront and close to lovely beaches, perched on a hill. The rooms are comfortable and clean, though having a king-size bed in the bedroom may not suit everyone. The service is attentive, with friendly staff and efficient room service available. The dining experience offers the best pizza, and overall, the facilities are modern and convenient. The price corresponds to the value provided, making it a worthwhile stay.
