La Locanda di Circe

The front rooms have a few things going for them. The inn is clean, well run, and organized, and each small room has a little private area where you can sit. But those areas are part of the public space, with people coming and going, and some tables are shared by everyone. There is very little privacy. The rooms are genuinely tiny, made just for sleeping. There's no real space to relax, and they seem better suited to people in their 20s who don't mind being around others. This is a small village style complex, so anyone after a quiet stay with discretion and privacy should avoid it. The rooms are poorly ventilated and so cramped that locking yourself inside feels impossible. They're smaller than my bedroom at home, and I live in a 70-square-meter space. For one person wanting somewhere temporary to sleep, nap, and leave the next day, a front room might be workable. For two, it is close to the bare minimum. It feels more like a dormitory than a proper inn. The back rooms are much worse. They are tucked behind the complex and reached through a very narrow tunnel enclosed by a high wall, with the entrance immediately in front of you, just centimeters away. There is no space outside for a table or chair. Inside, despite being described as cozy and large, the room is like a closet with beds and a wardrobe, and nothing else. There is no space, no windows, no basic comforts, and nowhere for suitcases or bags. The first impression is a prison cell, though I only know those from television. The tiny bathroom is also hard to use, even with just two people. Offering these back rooms for a longer stay seems ridiculous, especially at the price, and describing them as comfortable to someone of a certain age, 74 years old, is hard to understand. The amenities are practically nonexistent, not even fruit juice or coffee at breakfast. I doubt you'd find a place for a coffee maker either, unless you slept with it or put it under the bed. So I strongly wouldn't recommend the place for stays longer than two nights, unless you're 15 and enjoy the Rimini/Riccione style or the feel of a public dorm. If you want a few restful days, even with very little privacy, and a livable room where you can come back from the beach, shower, then watch TV, listen to music, or read, this isn't for you. And about the parking: you'll probably hear that the Locanda has plenty of spaces, but during peak tourist season the white-striped spaces are all taken. You'll have to leave the car elsewhere and hope you find a free spot without any unpleasant surprises. The municipality does a lot of business with fines in this area.

The owners welcomed us so well, and made us laugh while helping us with advice about everything. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. It's a great place to spend a few days relaxing, with the supermarket and beach both close by. We'll definitely come back... 10+! :)

We only called that evening, looking for somewhere to stay, and happened to reach the owners of this B&B. They were both kind and accommodating. The room was free for just one night because other guests had booked it after that. They assured us they'd find somewhere else for us, and they did. My family and I are grateful to Sabrina and Claudio for their kindness and hospitality, and for recommending places to visit and good, reasonably priced places to eat.

Sabrina and Claudio were very helpful, pointing us toward several restaurants and pizzerias they partner with. The inn itself is welcoming, with a flower-lined path that makes for a calm, relaxing few days. We spent 4 nights there, and it's in a convenient spot just 500 meters from the sea, an easy walk. The water is clean, though there aren't any nightclubs in town for evening entertainment. There are only restaurants and takeaways, and they are expensive. Best wishes, Claudio.
