A lovely old traditional Italian hotel
Pros:

The location was perfect, close to the train station and the town and right next to the ferry pier. The room was comfortable with a good quality bed and bedding. I loved all the little touches such as the toiletries. The staff were lovely and most helpful.

Cons:

The lift was small and didn't go all the way to the fourth floor.
