Vista sul faro e relax totale
Pros:

Camera spaziosa e molto confortevole, con un affaccio splendido sul faro e sull’oceano che rende il soggiorno davvero speciale.
Ottima la colazione, varia e di qualità, perfetta per iniziare la giornata. Il personale è stato sempre gentile e disponibile.
Nel complesso, tutto perfetto: un’esperienza che consiglio senza esitazioni.

Estancia magnífica en playa da barra
Pros:

Habitación doble amplia con terraza y vistas al faro y al mar. Hotel de toda la vida que por fuera no llama mucho la atención pero muy cuidado en el interior con reforma reciente. Cama muy cómoda y amplia, baño funcional y moderno. Desayuno incluido completo y personal muy amable, se merece más que un 3 estrellas. Volveremos sin duda.
