Victoria Hotel Letterario is twelfth, the longest walk in our centre list, and the one with the cheapest garage a hotel prints. Garage Saba is €17.00 (about US$19) per 24 hours if you pay at the hotel, €20 (about US$20) by Telepass, and our walking route from Via Oriani to the Stazione Marittima is about 0.9 miles (1.5 km), roughly 20 minutes.
James Joyce lived in the building, per the hotel, and it leans into that. There's a room-service bar until 11 pm and a private wellness area at €80 (about US$90) for one or €100 (about US$110) for two.
Breakfast isn't described on the pages we read, and with bags the walk to the ship means a taxi — about 1.2 road miles.
Book it if you're driving and the €17.00 garage works for your nights, and confirm it'll hold the car for the cruise.
