Eat and Drink
An impressive made-to-order breakfast is provided in the hotel restaurant, with outdoor seating on the garden terrace below, shaded by big beige parasols and heritage views. It is a fantastic (romantic) dinner venue, too, offering a unique ambiance with soft live music playing on the beautifully lit old town square.
Munch on everything from traditional Adriatic cuisine to contemporary international takes, including grilled fish and octopus, juicy steaks, and pasta dishes made from fresh local seafood and typical Mediterranean ingredients such as thyme, rosemary, and lemon. Hellenistic wall art and classy wooden furniture set the mood for evening meals inside.
There is also a giant artificial olive tree that extends from the bar on the ground floor to the second floor. The lounge bar serves drinks and snacks all day and is the perfect spot for an evening cocktail, aperitivo, or just a cup of coffee, especially when it’s raining outside. The wine list is extensive but unfortunately, there are no local wines by the glass.
