English Inn

The vast upstairs garden terrace, with
its orange trees and dazzle of bougainvillea, is a delight and attracts a primarily expat
crowd who head here for the disco beats and karaoke nights, accompanied by Guinness on
tap. The party atmosphere continues late into the night, while the bacon-and-eggs break-
fast is a suitable reviver.

On Piazza Tasso, this eleg-
