Wonderful stay at this hotel. I was a bit disappointed with the room view. When I booked the room, the picture showed a room with a sea view. Based on the picture, I was under the impression that I would have a sea view. It was a bit misleading. Overall, it was a good stay at this hotel. Breakfast was of high quality. Great selection. Staff were super friendly, specially Onik (sp?) and Nikola. They took care of our luggage and drove us to the parking lot (300 meters from the hotel). Location was superb. I was able to go swimming at the Beach Monachile daily.

This was a wonderful stop on a 4 week road trip through Sicily and southern Italy. It started at the parking area, which is a 300 meter walk from the hotel. As soon as we unloaded our luggage a van appeared ready to take us to the hotel. We had a superior room in the other building. It was a bit small but everything else was excellent. The breakfast area has some beautiful views. The staff was very helpful for the most part. Only ran into an older woman at check out who wasn't helpful, everyone else was great. i recommend this hotel and hope to stay again.

Great location and the use of the terrace with spa was amazing. Staff were ok but they seem to find tourists bothersome. Great views over the sea.

Nice visit
Nice place. Parking couple blocks away but after luggage drop a tuk tuk to take you to car. Lovely location 2 min walk to old town with cut shops and cafes. Very reminiscent of Greece. Food everywhere was delicious and well presented. Hotel dining excellent. Breakfast room is beautifully

This property was great in a great location. Parking was a bit of a walk but nothing outrageous. The breakfast offered was great and it is close to the old town. A bit pricy for what it offers but I would stay again.

Tip: Ask for hotel navigation & bring own iron!
Hotel location is fantastic - views are superb, but it is a busy tourist town so advance info on how to get to hotel (to avoid roads closed by police due to tourist foot traffic) would have been much appreciated. Also - they have no irons or ironing boards available for the rooms. Crazy! The poor front office guy (who was very nice) had to borrow one from a staff member so we could go out to dinner looking well dressed not wrinkled up. Seems like one of the most obvious things.... and easy to fix.
