Scene
Small property with pretty views and quiet setting
La Moresca occupies an old white building with small lancet windows, set across from a terrace with a monument and beautiful views. The compact front desk has shelves filled with books and surrounding framed photos of the area. From here, guests must take the stairs done in colorful mosaic tiles to their room, as there's no elevator. The hotel's main draw is undoubtedly the views; from rooms, the top-floor breakfast space, and a small rooftop deck, vistas of the hillside and sea are stellar across the board. Being a bit outside the city center means the vibe here is largely relaxed and quiet, attracting primarily low-key couples.
