What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The rooms are decorated in a near-monochrome, with bold blue accents to echo the ocean views, and are furnished with subtly modern comforts like articulated reading lamps, smart LED TVs, and walk-in chromatherapy showers.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Petrolo beach lies right below the cliff, and the historic harbour restaurants are just a short stroll away.
The rooms
Most rooms open onto private balconies facing the sea, detailed in near-monochrome tones with soundproofed layouts.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 20-metre infinity pool stretches across the terrace, fitted with chrome water jets facing the open sea.
The spa
The private spa suite holds a Turkish bath and a hydro-massage bath set beneath a fiber-optic starry ceiling.
Restaurant
Sala Colazioni
Morning buffets of fresh pastries and focaccia are laid out beside picture windows looking over the gulf.
At the table
A blue-tiled bar serves drinks and sunset aperitifs to enjoy indoors or out on the pool solarium.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
