The hotel is good and our stay was pleasant. For the price of it though, I would definitely expect a better breakfast. The road to get to the hotel is a tiny/tight street with big stones that is unsafe. We parked the car and didn't want to move it again because it was scary. They really need to put a traffic light or offer help from the hotel.

L'hotel è veramente bello ma in una posizione assurda... C'è una stradina tutta ciottolosa e sconnessa stretta che ci passa una macchina soltanto. Per le moto è pericolosa e a rischio caduta ... Abbiamo pertanto cambiato ad albergo con uno con un parcheggio più decente. Quando abbiamo comunicato la nostra intenzione di dover cambiare ci è stato proposto di lasciare la moto sulla strada principale e venire in hotel a piedi.... Cosa impensabile!!!!!!

I liked the location, beautiful area, but the inside of the room didn’t give me the feeling of an old historic building; decorated more in the modern side. The taxi drivers were refusing to take us to the hotel from the port which was something very inconvenient. The driver that picked us up from where the taxi left us was very helpful, but the staff otherwise not very friendly.
