Rooms & Interiors
Villa Alto Boutique Hotel offers 12 rooms with distinct thematic decor, each providing a character that matches the late 19th-century building. Superior rooms include balconies with ocean views, while standard rooms are more compact. All accommodations have flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, and a small fridge; some rooms feature a tea kettle.
Dining & Honesty Bar
Breakfast is served daily with a buffet that includes fresh pastries, local cheeses, fruits, eggs cooked to order, and homemade cakes.

Dinner is available on request, offering a choice of meat or fish dishes prepared by the in-house chef.
