great location, great room with sea view, gorgeous blue marble flooring, linens are top quality, bed so comfortable. Location spectacular with close access to centro. Fortuna at the desk lovely and Massimo at breakfast was very sweet. Beach club associated with the hotel was beautiful although 100 euro to access it over the top. Daily breakfast was wonderful and thankfully included in the price, and same view as seen from the restaurant
