We spent a wonderful week at La Lanterna. The apartment was well equipped, very clean, and perfect for our needs. It has a delightful small balcony overlooking the harbour where we could sit and watch what was going on on the quay or in the boats sailing by. Anna was a very welcoming hostess and the breakfast that she provided was plentiful and varied. We highly recommend this place and hope to return again some day.

A beautiful and spacious apartment with sea view. Parking is tricky and expensive in the area but the reasonable price of the room makes up for it. The area is gorgeous and is well worth a visit.

What can I say. I've already left a 5-star review on Maps and I'll repeat it here. Punctuality, kindness of the managers, cleanliness, great location overlooking the harbor and entrance to the historic center, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast. Acceptance of the holiday bonus. Communication. Everything is excellent. We will come back.

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille della sua gentilezza. Saremmo molto felici di riaverla nostra cliente. Distinti saluti.

The structure has a strategic position: you are in the village with a sea view. You have everything at your fingertips and the managers are very friendly and helpful. The room is a bit small for two but it's all renovated and tastefully furnished, then the view and the small balcony overlooking the pier are priceless: waking up is a whole different story! I plan to go back and I have already recommended it to a friend.
