The apartment was in a unique location in the Old Town with trees blocking natural light, but the staff was helpful and friendly. The daily walk through the garden and stairs was a bit inconvenient, but overall, it suited the Old Town vibe.

The apartment felt like a dungeon with limited natural light due to trees blocking the windows. The walk through the garden and down steep stairs was a bit tiring. If closer to the main building with a lift, it would have been better.

The location was fantastic for exploring the Old Town, but the climb up steep stairs might not be ideal for everyone. Beautiful views overlooking the old town and beach. Very close to the Old Town area.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, offering a lovely pool and sea view from the top floor. They were spotlessly clean and had all the necessary amenities like a cooker and dishwasher. The service provided by Carlo and Fernando was exceptional, making our stay even more enjoyable. The location was perfect for us to explore the old town, although the steep climb and steps might be challenging for elderly guests. The dining experience without having to go into town was a nice touch, especially enjoying local fish in the hotel's cellar. Overall, a great value for money with fantastic facilities.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were lovely, clean, and spacious, although they could use a bit of a touch-up in some areas. The staff was friendly overall, but there were a few hiccups. The location was perfect, very central to the Old Town Square, making it convenient to explore. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a cozy cellar option available. The facilities were decent, though nothing extraordinary.
