“This place has a certain unassuming charm; what it lacks in updated decor, it more than makes up for with attentive service. I think the public baths and mountain views are a real plus after a day of hiking, and its proximity to both beach and trails is a definite advantage. For a taste of local flavor, booking dinner here is a must-or try that little spot just a minute away.”
