pleasant stay with sea views

sea view real coffee continental breakfast steep staircase small room instant coffee
i stayed in a single room with a sea view. the room was newly renovated and quite nice. i especially appreciated the real coffee in the room, not instant coffee. the continental breakfast was simple but adequate and good value.
the narrow, steep staircase was difficult. there was no assistance offered with luggage. the room was very small.

The location offered a WONDERFUL view from my room's window. The staff members were lovely and helpful with any request. The food available at the restaurant was amazing and the price seemed decent. I appreciated the atmosphere in the restaurant and bar.
