"After a long day on trains and ferries, in hot waiting rooms and dragging luggage up hills, it was a total RELIEF to be in a beautiful, elegant, well air conditioned hotel suite. Traveling w/an adult son, it was terrific to give him a bit of privacy bec the room had a clever wall, dividing the main bedroom from a sitting area where the twin bed was located. Huge bathroom, classic balconies, on a quiet square. Great place w/American hotel standards but Italian class and charm."

"It was a pleasure to stay at this hotel; it is very clean and well-organised. The breakfast was fantastic, all fresh products; one thing that really stood out to us was the honeycomb at the buffet, dripping with delicious fresh honey. All the staff; from the dining room to the reception were truly kind and friendly, especially Giovanni, Benedetto, Sonia and Chiara! We will definitely be back and highly recommend it, as we had such a wonderful experience."
