"Beautiful location and a beautiful room. We stayed in a cave room and it was so nice! The bed was very comfy The hotel team reached out in advance and on the day of arrival to ensure we knew where to park and to arrange our transfer from the car park (15e return). The staff were all very friendly! Breakfast was great with a great view from the terrace Dinner at Regia Corte was a little underwhelming for the price but the pizza place was great! We enjoyed exploring the city everything in the old town/cava are is walkable from the hotel just lots of steep steps"

"The room was a great size and has magnificent views across the Sassi - ideal for watching the sun rise. The bath is a generous size and the management were very helpful and very responsive. The property is ideally situated as it is at the top of the Sassi meaning not too long a walk from the main square or having to drag your cases across the cobbles. We stayed in the suite on the roof, adjacent to the roof terrace, which provides additional views across the Sassi. A very enjoyable stay and would highly recommend."
