Soggiorno top
Pros:

La struttura è in una posizione comoda, a 10 minuti a piedi dal porto per chi arriva con il traghetto, e a circa 15 minuti a piedi dal centro storico. Hotel moderno e curato, stanza grande, confortevole, pulita. La colazione è abbondante e di ottima qualità. Possibilità di deposito bagagli. Veramente nulla da dire.

Cons:

Nulla.
