Located above the main spread of the resort, a 10-minute uphill walk from the main beach, this property has a tranquil ambience. Although there is no swimming pool here, it appeals to those looking for a quieter base close to the amenities of the town. Its best feature is the semi-circular piazza-style courtyard where the restaurant has panoramic views out to sea.

An inverted V-shaped wooden portico over a low stone wall marks the entrance to the main reception area below reached by 13 wide stairs. Many of the balconied rooms are located in staggered and tiered 2-storey blocks to the side of the main area.
