La Dolce Vita

We felt right at home and would happily return. The apartment was spotless and well kept, just as described, with a gorgeous sea view. Service was A1, friendly, professional, and quick to respond. Highly recommend 🫶🏼

Do not book here. I reserved and paid in full two months ahead for my brother’s wedding at the end of April, but the property changed my dates to December without asking. They said the villa had been booked six or seven times and they could no longer host us. They can cancel at any time, and you have no recourse. If zero stars were an option, that’s what I’d give.

The host was organized and proactive, easy to reach, and quick to reply whenever I contacted him. We were less than a 10-minute walk from the main Piazza, and the apartment was right by stairs leading down to the ocean, if you’re up for the 3,000-step walk. Parking is tricky: there’s no real street parking nearby unless you’re prepared to walk 15-20 minutes from where you leave the car. A lot less than a block away has two kind attendants who park and fetch your car, with hours running until 11 pm and starting fairly early. Inside, the king bed was comfortable, with extra pillows and blankets in the closet. The little kitchen handled simple meals and had a decent-sized fridge. There was a coffee machine, and I loved having coffee on the balcony. The sea and city view was partial, but the mountains and the sea we could see were still lovely. The room matched the photos, though the bathroom looked even better in person. Two sets of double doors open onto a long patio, which was a dream. It was quiet at night, and the drapes blocked out the light well. We had a wonderful stay and I’d come back.

The friendly, helpful staff made the stay even better. The villa has a large room with the needed facilities, a kitchen, and a balcony overlooking the sea. Its lovely ocean view pairs with colorful, beautifully painted ceramics that give the place its own style. Public parking is conveniently just across the street.
