We stayed here for a few days whilst we were getting married nearby. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive from the minute we arrived with recommendations and helping arrange logistics. Fabio at the pool deck was fantastic and made us feel so looked after. Cannot rate highly enough. Stunning location and views to top it off!

Breakfast is superb with large choice. There is an excellent spa but this is an extra which seems petty given the room prices aren’t cheap. The infinity pool is excellent with great views of the harbour. The bar/restaurant offers panoramic views although the drinks are very pricey - €18 for a negroni. Staff are extremely friendly and this is a top class hotel in a great location.
