What a unique property! We loved the character of the palace. The decor was really cool. The staff was excellent, great food and cocktails. I enjoyed the Vespar in the bar. Much better to stay here than in or closer to Porto Fino.

This hotel is a beautiful property. The lobby was 5 Star with beautiful original paintings. The outdoor pool and hot tub provided a great view of the harbor. Unfortunately, the pool area closed at 6:00 pm. I was very disappointed after returning from a long day of walking and was looking forward to a soak befor dinner.
