La Torretta

We booked the PANORAMIC SUITE BIG TERRACE SEA VIEW room 58. It had a wonderful view and the bed was comfortable. We hiked from the train to the hotel with backpacks on our back - it was pretty steep and took about 5 minutes. We were a little sweaty and out of breath, but right after we checked in, we were offered a welcome drink and small snack. Breakfast was wonderful, however, there is some food waste, as they serve many different pastries to each table and there is no way to eat it all. I'd rather they had the pastries as a buffet. There wasn't a do-not-disturb hang tag, and housekeeping comes twice a day, sometimes while we were at breakfast and didn't have a chance to prepare the room for others to enter. The bathroom was quite small and both sinks were pedestals so we had to keep our toiletries on the floor. Also, the first night it was pretty noisy - the neighboring room was having a party and even with ear plugs and a noise machine we could hear them until late. Minor inconveniences and overall a wonderful stay.

We booked a couple months in advanced for 4 nights but when bad weather came and we felt unsafe in the city and asked to leave a night early we were not compensated which was a little disappointing. I would recommend anyone do not book in advance, check the weather first then do a day trip as is unsafe being between cliffs

We really liked the hotel and had a very nice visit. The room was large with a comfortable bed, nice living room, good WiFi, clean bathroom and good water pressure in the shower (less so in the bathtub). The stairs up and down to the bathroom and to the bedroom were quite steep and shallow. The two issues we had with the room were 1) there were a lot of mosquitos - got really bit up at night and 2) the patio sitting area was not right off the room but outside down about 10 steep steps - from the website pictures I did not get that impression. The service was very good starting with the porter who helped us with our bags and parking as well as helping with breakfast. The breakfast was quite good - loved the eggs and the almond croissant. And the location is fabulous - great views, easy to access the hikes, train station without a lot of noise. If they would ensure the rooms had no mosquitos I would have given it five stars.
