Excellent Stay in Central Location

fresh breadpacked lunchhelpful staffcity center
The breakfast had fresh bread every morning. I especially liked the service during my early departure (the hotel provided a packed lunch for my bus trip). The staff were helpful. The city center is very close to the accommodation. The pool was also really nice.

The hotel is in the historic city center. The area around the hotel is quiet. The old harbor and the Fortezza are easy to reach on foot, and beaches are a short drive away.
Rooms
