The Camelia Hotel restaurant was very cozy and tasty. There is an italian restaurante called Eatalia. Family business, small, very tasty. Also the upscale Roslin restaurant was very good; Pricy, but excelent.

3/5 - Okay

One thing I forgot to mention, which is a definite positive, when we woke on the Sunday morning and opened the blinds, we were welcomed with blue sky and sunshine and the most wonderful view of the sea!
