The on-site restaurant serves locally sourced cuisine within the vaulted stone spaces of the former monastery. The rooftop bar offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Adriatic coastline and old town, with local product tasting experiences available. Breakfast is included and features local pastries, fresh fruit, and coffee made to order.
