The sea view from my room was beautiful, I could even see France. The room itself was spacious and well equipped. I also found the bed to be very comfortable and the linens were high quality. The food for breakfast tasted amazing, especially the eggs Florentine.
The steps into the hotel were steep. Using the ramp was difficult with a walking stick. My room felt a bit cold.
