The hotel is located in an old palace with wonderful (but dark) frescoes and our room was particularly large. However, the bathroom, which was a boxed in addition was tiny and there is far too much uneccessary furniture in the room which reduces the available free space in the room.

It's truly like living in a palace -- sleeping under an incredible frescoed ceiling surrounded by beautiful antique furniture and art. It's close to... More

This is second stay at Stella Maris. The rooms are beautiful, the location is perfect; the staff is so very friendly and helpful. Upon arrival - before we even told them our names, the owner smiled and said in her best English "I know you! You stayed here last year!" - that is the type of atmosphere and people here!... More
