Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We were unaware that this great family-owned authentic Italian restaurant was next to our villa stay. It was so good we went there a second time in our weekend stay. Simple menu and ingredients but cooked really well. Beautifully set on the mountainside overlooking the sea - romantic and idyllic. Perfecto. The waitress spoke English, French, Italian, German. So no problem ordering.”
“The staff is fabulous and service minded. They helped us hire a scooter that was delivered at the hotel. Great breakfast and a splendid view. I do recommend this hotel.”
“Very friendly staff! We didn’t make a reservation and the restaurant was fully booked. However another table was set up for us. The menu is all about their fresh products and the views are worth the drive uphill! We will come here again!”
