Once you have made it to the top of the winding road, the views from the hotel balconies are spectacular. The walk down to the old town is about 10-15 minutes, bit back up the hill may be tough for older folk, but they had a deal with a local taxi driver that you could summon from WhatsApp that was cheap and easy to order.
Only negative was the strange lack of shower gel that most hotels usually provide, easily remedied with a trip to the supermarket.
