Tips from the Community
A place with the charm of times long past. Old villas stand in the central grid of streets. The tourist mile and the carousel in front of the Grand Hotel trigger my instinct to flee. I'm not criticizing the holidaymakers—but for me, such a place has never been a place of well-being.
