I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right by the beach and close to the town center with convenient access to various amenities. The rooms offer a stunning view, and the service was top-notch. However, the facilities were a bit lacking, and the dining options were limited, especially for guests with specific preferences.

The hotel sits up on a hill by the sea and boasts the delightful 1810 restaurant. The rooms offer a breathtaking view and are equipped with a shower over a plastic bath. Though the chairs provided in the bedroom for medical devices may not suit all guests, they add a practical touch. The service is top-notch, with convenient amenities like car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping, and laundry available. The location is superb, right in the center of town and on top of a hill overlooking the sea. However, a few drawbacks include some noise from the town center and the higher prices compared to other options. The dining experience, particularly the fruit juice, adds to the overall enjoyment of the stay. The facilities are well-maintained, offering everything needed for a comfortable visit.

The hotel boasts an amazing view from the rooms, perfect for medical device use, with shower over plastic bath. The chairs provided in the bedroom were convenient, but some noise from the nearby church could be heard. Despite this, its central location makes it ideal for exploring the town or enjoying the sea front.
