Spiaggetta Di Santa Tecla

8 Renzo Caruso

The coast's beaches are quite rugged and can be challenging to access, but the water is delightfully cold due to the presence of fresh water springs on the surface, giving it a slightly salty and delicious taste. It is advisable to bring along some rock shoes for your visit.

This hotel I stayed at was one of the worst I've ever been to. The location was terrible, with only a few nearby restaurants that served decent food, but they charged extra for certain items. The food at the hotel itself was absolutely awful, and the staff at the restaurant served your food instead of allowing you to choose for yourself. Additionally, the food options were limited and lacked variety. The service at the hotel was also very poor, with a very bad attitude from the staff.
