This spacious tavern is located in the mountains with a beautiful view of the sea and offers a great atmosphere for celebrations.

The service is very good and the staff are extremely hospitable and attentive without being intrusive.

The food is also very good, the portions are large and the prices are rather cheap. Of our 7 dishes, 6 tasted very good, only the vine leaves were a little sour (a matter of taste).

We will definitely go there again!
