On a hill above the village is a well-preserved 30-m-high, 12th-century round tower and the ruins of a Cathedral and oratory dating from the 13th and 8th centuries respectively. The village includes two hotels, a number of pubs and restaurants, a seasonal petrol station, a pier and slipway.

We had a wonderful trip and the route planned through RoutePerfect was wonderful. All the hotels we booked through your company were also very good. We had no problems with the bookings or checking in processes and being able to pay in stages when we booked the trip made budgeting very easy. We found the whole process of planning our trip and booking accommodation through RoutePerfect to be very simple and have recommended RoutePerfect to many of our friends and acquaintances.

I came across your website whilst planning an impromptu trip to Italy. Although we only booked hotels with you, I found your website a great help. We traveled by train and found Italian trains to be very good. The rooms we booked with you were all good. The locations were great. The hotel in Viareggio was a great treat. I would definitely recommend your site to anybody planning a trip. We will use it again .... Vietnam and Cambodia next!
