This hotel is owned by a beautiful family. From my understanding, the owners are a husband and wife Elona, and they truly made our stay special with the help of their sweet staff. Elona was incredibly kind and always ready to help us with anything we needed. Her husband was just as sweet and is the head chef behind all the delicious meals we enjoyed during our stay. Also they speak English and Italian very well. They also recommended a boat tour for us when ours got cancelled, and it ended up being such a fun experience. The views from the hotel were absolutely beautiful, and the hotel itself was very clean and well maintained. The location is peaceful, but you do need to drive about 10 minutes to reach the boat tour location and what I’d consider the city’s “downtown,” where there are plenty of food options and shopping stalls. The owners were always on top of everything and made sure we felt taken care of. 10/10 I would absolutely recommend this hotel."
