great servicegood foodexcellent location

The location is excellent. It is a short walk from the water bus stop. I found several good places to eat in the plaza where the accommodation is located. The staff recommended Taverna Capitan Uncino. The food was decently priced, and the service was great.

The room i had was quite small, there was not enough space for a desk.
