“What stands out here is the blend of historic architecture with modern renovations, a prior Campari family ownership adding to its unique appeal. Situated with beachfront access, it's a comfortable base with updated rooms and a surprisingly solid breakfast, even if exploring more diverse dining requires a trip into the city center. Overall, I think it strikes a nice balance, particularly for those prioritizing seaside relaxation and family-friendly amenities.”
