The Gold List's top-scoring property in Europe is an "extraordinary and secluded hotel with a labyrinth of rooms all tucked within the cliffs in a series of ledges" above the bay. The spectacular terrace has "incredible views," as do the unique guest rooms, most of which have "huge picture windows that allow you to feel as though you are part of the natural environment." Il San Pietro restaurant's traditional Mediterranean fare is "a culinary treat." Staff "wrote the book on charm."
