    Wonderful redevelopment of the fort with a collection of art studios, bar and a beautiful hotel in the access to the Marina

    Here is where you should go for lunch. They close around 4 pm for food, but bar is still open. Food is really good. Speak English

    The fortress area is very well maintained, the harbour area is modern and has restaurants for all tastes. The Citadel Art district with hotel and restaurant is wonderful and peaceful.

    An unexpected place with sculptures being desplayed around and galleries among hotels and restaurants. Worth a visit!

    Come here if you are in Cascias. It's a nice place to visit with kids as you have a gaint wheel and food stalls near the sea.

    Honestly, I was expecting more. I was not this hotel guest, but I had to visit it. I can not tell you about the quality of service, but I can say a 5 star hotel should not have scratches on walls or doors. I am not sure my opinion should be considered , but may be they need to consider about what I highlighted. It suppose to give you feeling of being in a castle, but hmmm I did not get such a feeling .

    I was expecting a fortress to visit, not a former fortress that houses art galleries and hotels.

    Walking through the arc of the fortress, as others did 400 years ago, what an experience. How it still stands is a testament to the craftsmanship.

😠 Cost a lot for nothing. No English explanations, only 3 small rooms about some historical stuff with Fotos of the fort. Waste of time and money. Only go There if you really really really into something like that. Otherwise avoid!
