点评:We loved staying in the old town. A week later, I am still reminiscing about the beautiful streets and buildings. I would never dream of holidaying in the summer due to the extreme heat and crowds and it was pleasantly quiet in October but with perfect sight-seeing weather. The old town is a tourist trap as far as restaurant prices go - I'd say it was as expensive as central London so we had a self-catering apartment and did mostly our own cooking but had coffees, pastries and drinks out. Beware of cafes in popular areas such as near the Cathedral. The bar opposite it charged 6 euros for a bottle of beer which would have been 3 in a side street. A very nice piece of fish in breadcrumbs (John Dory, which I've never seen in England) with a side salad and a bottle of mineral water, complimentary bread, cost euros 36 in a small restaurant.
I don't know if hotels are much dearer in the summer, but they were amazing value at the end of the season. We stayed for 4 nights at Palazzo Salapolis, a beautifully restored and modernised 16th century palace, in the centre for Euros 75 a night including an ample buffet breakfast. .It was memorable: 2 bedrooms, kitchen/dining room, monogrammed linen etc. Fabulous! We had a small private roof terrace and there is a large terrace for general use. The host, Scott, has made the place his life's work and was extremely hospitable and helpful.
I was not so struck by the modern part of town, separated by a bridge from the old town. It was quite characterless though it does have supermarkets at least, which are hard to find in the old town. If you need groceries in the centre, there is a small one for local people with reasonable prices down an alley just by the Cathedral.
翻译:我们非常喜欢住在老城区。一周过去了,我仍然对那里美丽的街道和建筑念念不忘。夏天酷热难耐,人又多,我根本不会考虑来这里度假。十月份的天气格外宜人,既安静又适合观光。老城区的餐厅价格简直就是个旅游陷阱——我觉得和伦敦市中心一样贵,所以我们租了一间自助式公寓,自己做饭,偶尔也会出去喝咖啡、吃点糕点或喝点饮料。要小心热门区域的咖啡馆,比如大教堂附近。教堂对面的酒吧一瓶啤酒要6欧元,而街边小店里只要3欧元。在一家小餐馆里,一份裹着面包屑的炸鱼(多宝鱼,我在英国从没见过)配上沙拉、一瓶矿泉水和免费面包,竟然要36欧元。
我不知道夏天酒店的价格是不是贵很多,但淡季的时候性价比真的很高。我们在萨拉波利斯宫 (Palazzo Salapolis) 住了四晚。这座十六世纪的宫殿经过精心修复和现代化改造,位于市中心,每晚75欧元,包含丰盛的自助早餐。住宿体验令人难忘:两间卧室、厨房/餐厅、带有专属图案的床单等等,简直棒极了!我们拥有一个小型私人屋顶露台,此外还有一个可供公众使用的大露台。房东斯科特 (Scott) 将这里视为毕生心血,热情好客,乐于助人。
我对与老城区隔桥相望的现代化城区印象一般。虽然那里有超市(老城区很难找到超市),但感觉没什么特色。如果您需要在市中心购买杂货,大教堂附近的一条小巷里有一家价格合理的本地超市。
