I had an amazing stay at this hotel - one of the best I've ever experienced. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The hotel facilities were top-notch, especially the pools and the indoor heated one. The spa staff were brilliant, and I had a relaxing and refreshing facial. The breakfast at the two restaurants, Il Gallo d'Oro and the Rose Garden, was excellent with a wide variety of choices. The view from both restaurants was beautiful, overlooking the sea. The location of the hotel was perfect, near restaurants and within walking distance of the city. the cleanliness, hotel facilities, breakfast, and staff were all exceptional.
Can't fault the property in any way.

The rooms were spacious, well-equipped, and had breathtaking views of the sunset. Lastly, the breakfast provided at the Rose Garden was delicious, and we loved starting our day there.
Everything was spot on.
