Why people love it
- Gardens and views. Guests describe tropical plants, sculptures and views of Isola Bella and the sea from the terraces.
- The pool. Guests mention a pool overlooking the Mediterranean in several reviews.
- Halfway location. It sits between the town and the beach, and guests call the surroundings quiet.
- Breakfast and staff. Reviewers call the breakfast excellent and the owner at reception helpful with good English.
The worst thing guests say
Cleanliness and upkeep. A July 2026 guest called the rooms very dirty, and a November 2025 guest described a dated apartment with a strong damp or mold smell in the bathroom. Older reviews from 2017 to 2025 mention uncleaned rooms, uncomfortable beds, hot water waits and misleading photos. Most recent 5-star reviews praise the grounds and cleanliness.
Insider tips
- Expect hundreds of steps to the beach or town, so pack light.
- Ask for an apartment that has been recently refreshed.
- Check the bathroom for damp when you arrive.
Who it's for: couples who want gardens and sea views and don't mind climbing steps.
Skip it if you have limited mobility or want a hotel-style cleaning service.
