Pros:

The welcome was warm and everyone was very helpful. Breakfast was a treat. For me the bed was far too hard (that did not apply to our friends' bed so it could just be me!) but other than that I would strongly recommend the hotel. Sea views perfect as was access to the sea.

Beautiful place with a timeless charm.
The room was very clean, with a nice view and a comfortable bed.

Great breakfast, served in a room overlooking the sea and the sailing boats – a truly pleasant way to start the day.
