Panarea, a island just north of Sicily. The small island is volcanic and the architecture had a byzantine feel to it. I started looking in areas that matched it.
Then I looked at the tile work, and focused on that a bit, and found a larger picture with a blue door.
Blue door hotels are all over the place in Panarea. It's very, very common.
At this point, if I was trying to locate a hostage (I do this as a hobby, this is OSINT), I'd Google Street View every street, comparing building to building to the exact viewing angle of this image to the island out in the water, until I was sure I had the place and would send it to the national agency that deals with that stuff. I'm not gonna waste that time on this, as it is a crazy expensive place to visit and you'll never be able to afford this precise room, and it undoubtedly has one hell of a waiting list. The island is a tourist trap.
I'm positive I got the right island, I've seen about 40 different angles of that island in your pic. There is also another pic from a tourist:
I can't download it so I just screen shot it. They have a bunch of old weathered antique chairs at this resort.

I do not know but I do know one thing wherever that place is would be very peaceful and inspiring. To have even a day there would definitely be a breath of fresh air

Im guessing Spain or Portugal or somewhere thereabouts.. one of the original posters of the photo was from France so maybe its from there idk

That hanging painting is Italian Renaissance, so I'm surmising the Italian coast.
