Hotel Borgo del Mare comes third on one line of its own website, which calls its ride to the cruise terminals a courtesy service. It's a small hotel on Via Olimpia, on the south side a few steps from the sea, with a restaurant and an American Bar, about 2.2 road miles from Largo della Pace by our routing.
The English page says "complimentary transportation". There's no schedule and no word on who qualifies, so treat it as a promise to confirm, not a timetable. Still, it's the only hotel here that earns the full 25 for the ride.
Breakfast is a buffet, but the site never says it's in the rate. Parking is listed as internal, with nothing on leaving the car while you sail, and the site gives no star rating.
Email the hotel with your sail date and ask what time the transfer leaves. If the answer's yes, the ride to your ship is covered.
