This hotel, built in 1852, stands proud as a really great icon of classic architecture, situated in a place where it has a wonderful view of the sea and the beaches nearby.
Interiors of the hotel are wonderfully spacious in the bar and dining areas, And the exterior has spacious patios, gardens and a pool complex. The pool is saltwater and a little dated now, but is still a great place to lounge by
The buffet breakfast was good, and all of the food we had was of good quality. The restaurants are expensive for meals in the evening, rather formal so you can’t just have a lighter male, except if you dine in the bar. Our room was fine, but not huge. And in particular the bathroom was small, as with all hotels of this period, they have had to adapt the original rooms to fit in a bathroom, the ceilings were high and it was otherwise comfortable. The bed was on the hard side, but that is often the fashion in Italy.
Free parking was good.
I’ve stayed at this place a couple of times now, and I’ve enjoyed it, but perhaps I’d move onto something a little more modern for a future stay.
