I loved everything about this hotel near the pristine ocean (except the very hard beds 🤣). The rooms are very clean, it's a beautiful building steps away from the ocean with a wonderful, very large rooftop patio and exceptional meals, exceptional, friendly service from everyone at the front desk, the lovely cleaning staff, the espresso bar and dining crew. I ate so much there - tried things I wouldn't normally and seriously, with the servings they have - you'll probably want to skip lunch! It's a coastal village, so be prepared for plenty of seafood options. We left our car in the underground hotel parking and went to other towns by bus - convenient and nearby. This isn't your motel 6, so don't let the 3 stars worry you. You can walk and park yourself on the beach in 4 minutes and you'll want to visit the little oceanside bars there for drinks and incredible coffee. La ringraziamo tutti a Hotel Doria ❤️🙏 la nostra vacanza era stupenda!
