    The property was beautiful, surrounded by its own art galleries, bookstores and eateries. It’s located within a fort’s old walls, which is very unique, walking distance to the old town and the marina. Area of the outdoor swimming pool wonderful,...

    This was our second stay at the hotel which is within a fortress right at the waterfront, where you can find great restaurants. The hotel is next to a beautiful cove on one side and the downtown center on the other.
  • Tanaqua

    The location is fabulous, walking distance to the center of town, yet quite and peaceful, within the citadel walls. We had a pleasant room overlooking the central square. Breakfast is a huge buffet with anything you can think of and all you can...
