We stayed at Hotel Traiano in a 1 bedroom apartment for 2 noghts prior to the cruise. The apartment was large and comfortable. There is an elevator. Breakfast was included. Transportation to the cruise port was 5 euro per person, reservations required. The first night I walked to a nearby pizzeria (Village Pizzaria) and picked up a couple of pies to go. Ther secornd night we tried the restaurant at a sister property - Borgo del Mare - transportation was complimentary.
