User reviews
"Taking a peaceful walk in the early evening is a great way to spend time here. There are some wonderful shops to explore, and the Gato Volpe Bar is a great spot for an aperitif. The owner can give you some interesting insights into the area's history. Kids will have a blast clambering over the rocks. I'm looking forward to staying at the hotel one day!"

"This beach is great for a quick dip and swim, however the sand is not particularly clean. The nearby piazza is fantastic, with plenty of eateries to choose from!"
