Villa Alto offers a delightful experience with its charming decor and warm atmosphere, making it ideal for relaxation. The breakfast is exceptional with a diverse selection, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure comfort. However, there is room for improvement, as some facilities may need updates, and getting to the villa involves navigating steep roads.

I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this boutique hotel! The location was perfect, right on the Main Street, and the stunning ocean views from my room really enhanced the experience. The breakfast was a highlight, with fresh and tasty options daily. The only downside was a minor maintenance issue with the jacuzzi, but the overall ambiance and hospitality more than made up for it.
