We were fortunate enough to stay here for three nights, Our room balcony opened up to the sea and took our breathe away. The room itself was immaculate. The shower small but not unusual for this area. Internet worked just fine in the room. Breakfast which was included, was more than sufficient. We literally walked across the street to the... More

Lovely little Pensione in a great location with stunning views. Beautiful breakfast served on garden terrace. Charming sitting areas in a lovely tranquil setting where you can share a seat with the Pensione's cat! BUT- remember that this place does NOT have a lift and that the room with a view you have so carefully arranged is a nightmare to... More

Located high up on the hillside, close to the funivia (cable car) station. We had a spacious room with a sea view and a huge terrace with little lemon trees. The hotel is very well maintained and cozy. It has a nice little patio and garden area, and you can enjoy an excellent breakfast outdoors. They serve also a complimentary... More
