Larissa (breakfast) was outstanding (friendly, attentive, personable).
Beds super comfy. Room spacious.
Food at the restaurant (dinner): delicious. Reception staff: friendly and attentive.
Parking across the street in harbor not too far.
Note: if you’re booking “sea view” you’ll make use of the blackout drapes for sure as the floodlights are on all night!
