Al Pescatore Hotel & Restaurant

The location presented difficulties with parking where we - unknowingly - entered a restricted zone. However, the young lady on reception cleared our "offence" with the police on booking in. We found Valerie instructive and interesting in providing local and cultural information. Thanks to the male waiter who allowed us to park in front of the restaurant whilst we organised parking on the island.

Fantastic hotel! Perfect if you are driving (you can drop the bags inside the ZTL – restricted traffic zone – when you check in and get them when you checkout) and park – free, in May – ate the Port Parking, a short walk in front of the hotel. Services were outstanding, specially at the reception, where they gave us a lot of information about the town, maps, how to park the car, and helped with the (heavy) baggage. Location could not be better, at walking distance to all the attractions, churches and restaurants. Room – sea view, which I strongly recommend – was very good: comfortable, great view (apart from the parking just below, but the horizon and the fishing boats returning in the afternoon and mooring just in front were beautiful). However, the shower box was too small.

The reception staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful and (thankfully for us) spoke english. They gave good recommendations for places to eat and visit. There is lots of choice for restaurants and cafés nearby and also shops where you can buy supplies for a picnic. The hotel also has its own restaurant with some very fresh looking fish on display. We liked the large rooms and the location in the Old Town was convenient. The rooms were very clean and, despite the road directly outside the hotel, pretty quiet. It's only a short walk to the beach and there are a choice of bars in the Old Town where you can enjoy a drink whilst watching the sunset. No noisy bars near the hotel. You cannot drive your car or park it in the road around the Old Town during the Summer but you are allowed 2 visits (on arrival and departure) to drop off/collect your suitcases (they filled out a form to ensure we did not get a fine from the camera that monitors this). There is a car park by the harbour (about 5 minutes walk) where you can park for free and access in and out of the Old Town without restriction during your stay. I felt the staff made a great effort to ensure our stay was as pleasant as possible. A nice peaceful atmosphere in a lovely old building.

Fantastic location on the threshold of the Old Town. Kind and very helpful staff. The hotel is in a charming old building, fully renovated and rooms / ours at least/ are with a sea view.

The hotel was beautiful and the location perfect. The staff were all super friendly and helpful!
