My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing! The room was elegant, clean, and spacious with unexpected amenities like a robe and slippers. The bed was super comfortable, and the balcony was superb for relaxing. However, the shower setup was a bit unconventional without a traditional stand-up shower.

The hotel is a hidden gem with breathtaking views and a perfect location. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and offer amazing vistas, especially the one with a hot tub. Marguerita's exceptional service made our short stay most enjoyable. The hotel's proximity to iconic spots and the enchanting terrace restaurant are definite highlights.

I couldn't have asked for a better location! The hotel is situated right next to the beach with stunning views and close to trendy spots. The rooms were incredibly clean, comfortable, and spacious, but the room rate was a bit too steep. The service was top-notch, and the staff genuinely cared about making my stay memorable.

My stay at the hotel was truly unforgettable. The decadent furnishings, like the beautiful inlaid wood table, made our room feel luxurious. However, the absence of a traditional stand-up shower on the first day was a bit disappointing, even though it was expected to be available the following day.

The room with the beautiful inlaid wood table was a plus for storing all our luggage and provided extra space when getting ready with multiple people. The shower setup was unique but took some getting used to.

My stay at this hotel was simply exceptional. The room was exquisite in every way, with a beautiful view and spacious compared to typical sizes in Italy and Europe. The service, especially Marguerita, was beyond helpful and kind, making it one of the best I've experienced in my 15 years of travel. The location couldn't be better, with stunning views of the sea, beach, and cliff, and the dining experience was truly outstanding. It was a perfect stay.
