A GEM by the Sea!!!

sea view convenient location diverse selection

I secured a room boasting a fantastic sea view. The location is super convenient! Breakfast was a HUGE plus, offering a diverse and fresh selection. The staff registered my car for ZTL access, which prevented any potential fines.

The public parking nearby was expensive. I had to pay extra for overnight parking. This was a bit of a hassle, especially considering the limited free options.
