    Great room size with a good view of the mainland. Very close to the ferry boarding... we stayed overnight to catch the ferry in the morning.

    Where to start! FANTASTIC place to stay. We fell victim to the rail strike so needed to be by the ferry port sooner than planned. I booked the property last minute. Giovanni, I presume the manager, was so communicative and helpful. He went above...

    Very modern, clean and easy to access - also with the "remote checkin". Handsome and lovely host, nice breakfast as well.

    Perfect location to reach the boarding of the ferries to Villa San Giovanni: five minutes walk, maybe less if you walk fast. My room was astonishing both for the size and for the cleanliness. The air conditioner was very efficient and very silent...
