La Pensione A overpriced cozy hotel

Nice cozy hotel in a lovely location and surroundings, close to all attractions & port. On the flip side the room size was very small and could have been better for the hefty price they are charging. Car parking was additional as usual but was the best option available. Overall nice hotel..but very expensive for its size
