We stayed at the Penaga a number of times in the 2010s and came back for the first time since Corona. How sad, what used to be a charming little hotel is a shadow of its former self: poorly maintained, dirty chairs on the balcony; one (!) hanger in the closet; the small but functional swimming pool
