We slept on a very comfortable bed in unit 2 of La Dolce Vita which is well situated being close to both the town and the beach. Our two night stay was quiet and peaceful . Access and parking was not an issue since there were no other guests on the first night and only one on the second but, having said that, I can certainly see the potential for difficult egress when all three units are occupied.
