The location is perfect for exploring the bay and it’s a 15-minute walk to the main square and UNESCO-listed Franciscan Church. The casino is also nearby. Seaview rooms are recommended to avoid traffic noise. From the rooftop terrace, you can enjoy watching small boats, the changing tides, and local birdlife, including swans and kingfishers.
