Church of the Madonna della Neve

Just two kilometers from the hotel, resting upon a mountain rising above the shoulders of the bay, a quiet stroll amidst vineyards and olive groves will lead you to the Church of the Madonna della Neve. The remaining walls of this church, rebuilt in the 16th century, feature and old religious item that dates back to the Roman era.
