If you want to visit Pogliano A Mare in comfort -- look no further. Dorotea's Alcove is truly "at the end of the road" where the pedestrian-only section of the old city begins, so you can walk everywhere but still sleep soundly at night with no crowd noise to bother you. Add working A.C., functional hot shower, frig, cooking implements and area, wonderfully comfortable bed with beautiful lacy sheets and comforters along with a balcony just big enough for two to watch the party below, and you've got a "home away from home". When you arrive here, tired from your trip, and need to communicate with Dorotea -- you will be blessed with almost instant responses and given all of the information you need. The alcova is just as pictured or more beautiful, and the tiles protect you from the noise, heat, and even the wonderful laughter that softens the evenings.
