Out of our 10 nights in southern Italy, this B&B was my husband’s favorite place to stay. It appears to be a very old family-owned villa, meticulously preserved and decorated. The walls of each large room are painted in cool pastels, and each vaulted ceiling is hand painted. The furniture is original and spectacular! – it must be worth a fortune. Bed sheets are embroidered – a rare and lovely touch. Hallways are paved in cool tiles, and there is a lovely terrace on the top floor good for morning coffee and reflection.  The overall location could not be better – in the heart of the old city, steps from the water and a host of seafood restaurants. If you head to the port around 5pm you will find scores of small fishing boats returning to shore to provide restauranteurs with their catches, which will appear minutes later on menus.  The only odd thing about this B&B, which could definitely be considered a plus depending on what your expectations and needs are, is an almost complete indifference of the hosts to interacting with guests. We were greeted minimally upon arrival and handed our keys. We never saw anyone again until the following morning when a young man (perhaps the owners’ son?) assisted us at breakfast. He, too, was almost indifferent to the guests although he was helpful with the coffee machine. We actually appreciated the independence we had and did not miss having to chat up the owners, but some people might find this aspect of the B&B offputting.  All in all a really beautiful experience.

Old world beauty in the heart of the old town

We stayed there for 2 days. We were looking for a place in the center and found Insula by chance, attracted by the impressive façade as we were walking past. The place turned out to be a fantastic discovery. Located in what is probably the most central location of the old town, Insula is carved out of a noble palazzo built in the 15th century and it maintains much of its old charme and grandeur, with very large rooms, vault ceilings with frescos, and furniture, mirrors and fittings from the 17th to 19th century. The owners are direct descendants of the family who built the palazzo- much of the furniture has been passed on over generations-, and they are incredibly nice, helpful and friendly, all of which gave a pleasent family feel to our stay. Gorgeous terraces open to guests and for breakfast. Incredibily affordable price. We highly recommend it and will definitely come back.

charming atmosphere, best value for money

Stayed here with our baby for two nights. Amazing huge room. Massive vaulted Ceilings. Private terrace. Great location right in the middle of old town, so plan to check in/leave when there won't be hundreds of pedestrians on the narrow streets! Attentive service, and a great little breakfast (we took breakfast in our room so baby could sleep in). It's a great place, and I'm giving them an excellent rating based in value - for the price this place can't be beat!

Lovely Palazzo

A very nice b&b, in a ancient "palazzo" : great rooms furnished with antique things but since with all modern comfort, wonderful terrace . Excellent location in the center of the old town, 5 minutes from a nice and popular beach and thus from the "lungomare" and all the living places. The breakfast is worth it : fresh fruits, local pastries, yogurt, fresh bread, ham / cheese, jam, cereals ...

Your room in a "Palazzo"

We really enjoyed our stay in this historic palazzo. Our room had an antique feeling (actually it had a separate sitting room) but it had an air conditioner and an electronically controlled window. It was very large and the bathroom was modern. The owners were super nice (it helps if you speak Italian). There were great terraces and you could have breakfast out there if it was not too hot. Every morning, they would fetch us any fresh-baked pastry we desired. I had cream-filled croissants, plus coffee, fruit, and cereal. We could park for free in the harbor and it was a 5 minute walk from there. The only big caveat is there are a lot of stairs to climb if you have luggage -- there is no elevator. We thought the price (before the main season started in July) was fair.
