The hotel was in a good , close uphill location from town (Umberto Corso) and just outside the inner city walls. Very close to shopping and all. Breakfast was delicious and the view from restaurant was gorgeous. We did have a sea view but ask for a higher floor if possible.

Amazing staff - beautiful views if you get the sea view and high enough. Our room smelled like a sewer due to the bathroom and it’s a sliding glass door so smell was transpiring through, thus making the hotel - not so splendid. Hotel clearly knew about this as fragrance was sprayed in the room. We had to sleep with the balcony doors open due to the smell - during days that were 35C
