Karina Germany

Travellers should be aware that there are lots of stairs for certain rooms. All very unique. Beautiful views on rooftop terrace.

Location was excellent with a great sea view. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby but not noisy at night. Staff were very friendly and great with booking excursions etc. The hotel itself is charming and lovely to stay in.

Hannah United Kingdom

Fab location, beautiful harbour views the room was simple and quirky with aged wood...loved it.

Excellent (but more expensive) sea view bedrooms. Right on harbourside. 10% discount on food and drink in hotel restaurant/bar. Excellent breakfast and good value @ €8.

Neil United Kingdom

We had such a nice time in Hotel Amphora. The location is amazing! The hotel is right in the cozy little roads of the old town and has a great view to the charming harbour! The staff was very kind. Augustini (hopefully is spelled right) was so welcoming and made the best omelette.

João United Kingdom

Beautiful room with stunning views. Beautifully clean with a lovely bathroom and everything was serviced perfectly. The restaurant was good and perfectly situated on the edge of the harbour

Teresa United Kingdom

Outstanding views of the harbour from the terrace on the roof.
