I’m so glad we did. It’s not dated, it’s classic, it’s grand and magical. The grounds to the pool are stunning, the pool makes you feel you are chilling by a millionaires house, not a hotel. The location couldn’t be better, everything is close by and walkable. We didn’t even go to the beach, as the pool was too nice to leave. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0612077c-7430-49f2-863c-2cfd97dda9b4-1749974041373.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aa693374-c56c-4179-aa71-f4e0d8a228c1-1749974083245.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5d968082-b3b9-46a6-a339-332d5a776988-1749974088666.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4987fd19-592c-4c23-b708-ce021a51ab6d-1749974092374.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katina Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maximilian Jan 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities very much from the turn of last centuries was preserved in the ambiance of rooms and bar and dining room Breakfast was a real treat with oranges freshly pressed to my liking and notably Fabio was so helpful - tante grazie ##### Maximilian Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Paula Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location but property needs some renovations in the rooms, (for a more comfortable stay. ##### Paula Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DAN Mar 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close to everything and lots of things to do around the area, such as beach, hiking or just walking around downtown to shop & eat. ##### DAN Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela Nov 30, 2023 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities repeat visit... and will be back again. always a favorite!!
