Scene
Charming, rustic space with rooftop lemon grove and sea-themed dining area
Albergo Marina exudes rustic charm from the exposed bricks inside guest rooms to its wooden whirlpool tub. The main hotel sits on a narrow, cobblestone street, and a separate guest room building has outdoor stairways. An elaborate breakfast buffet includes crepes with Nutella and strawberries, omelets, and pastries. In warm months, the breakfast can be taken in a lemon grove on the terrace with huge thatch umbrellas and long dining tables. In the late afternoon, the hotel provides a light meal of pasta and salad. The indoor dining area, with fishing nets, starfish, and a miniature rowboat, incorporates elements of the nearby ocean.
