I and my wife, stayed three nights at this hotel in June 2016. The room, on the second floor (67 stairs from street level (no lift!), was little and dark and was connected to the roof terrace by a corridor. The terrace was tiny, did not have place for chairs, table. It had high, thick, bricked walls. To get “see view” one had to stand tight to the wall and on tiptoe. We declined the room and were offered another room on the first floor (45 stairs from street level). This room was bigger, the “view” from this balcony was on the hotel backyard and other balconies belonging to the neighbour hotel. There are only 2 rooms at this hotel with true sea view but only with French balcony. The towels we got to cover the sunbeds were old rugs covering only half the bed. Both the hotel and the sunbeds are located at the most busiest section of the beach just where the little harbour with a pier is. Small excursion boats loaded with tourists arrive and leave all day long. This means noise from the boat engines, waves from the boats all the time and occasionally the smell of fuel. Not very pleasant condition for relaxing and to swim. The breakfast just basic. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant. It was acceptable, not more, but overpriced. Conclusion: you pay a lot for something you do not get (balcony, sea view); you get a lot of exercise (climbing the high staircase); you can’t relax at the beach (motorboats); you eat a simple dish but pay a lot for it. Hotel La Certosa? NO, thank you!
