What we wanted was a quiet, relaxing break and this hotel delivered just that. As a previous reviewer commented the location is puzzling, but apparently, the owner owned that piece of land and decided to build her dream there. We went mid July and expected it to be busy, however, it was really quiet (it was meantioned ferry prices from mainland Italy have increased dramatically; so that's impacted trade). As such, there were days when it was only us by the pool; made us feel like we were at private villa with personal staff on hand. My only constructive comments would be that the sound proofing between rooms wasn't the best, but wasn't so bad that it bothered us and the breakfast selection was slightly limited. However, that said, the hotel has been designed beautifully, the staff were fabulous and I left feeling truly refreshed and determined to leave feedback for the first time ever!
