Despite being off the beaten path, the hotel remains a good base for exploring the surrounding coastline.

Although the beach is a bit farther away than expected for a leisurely stroll, the hotel's peaceful environment compensates for this distance. For guests who prefer a calm and clean setting away from the bustling city center, Hotel Bio stands as an advantageous choice, especially for those with their own transportation.
