Hotel Funicolare
"The property needs a lot of work. The AC was broke. The lights in the hallway kept going out as you were walking in them. The view is spectacular but the road to get there is very very steep and windy"

You can relax here all day and the views are amazing. It’s a bit of a walk up so recommend coming by car/taxi but going down is ok and a supermarket ..."
