+ This is very good hotel at a great location, everything is reachable either by foot or with public transport. The building is very old and has beautiful ceilings. The room was quite outdated, and we had issues with hot water, but these were resolved promptly by the stuff. This is where I want to emphasize how absolutely wonderful the customer service is at this hote, which for me is much more importnat than anything else. Firstly, all my questions were addressed promptly by Tiziana, who also helped us on the check in. Secondly, on our last day, we had a red alert storm and a late night flight. Pietro went way beyond expected and arranged for us to stay in the room until our departure. The owner of the hotel allowed this without additional fee, considering the situation we got stuck in due to bad weather. This was not expected and it shows that these people put their customers' experience, safety and comfort first. I wish more businesses had this attitute, it saved out last day of the holiday and we left safe and with such a pleasant feeling because of these wonderful people. I will definitely recommend staying in this hotel because of their attitude to guests, professionalism and overal great experience. THANK YOU!

+ The bed was so darn comfortable that I slept 14 hours!
− The facilities are absolutely clean and there’s everything you need but the café was a bit dated albeit charming. The owner made me a fabulous coffee in the morning. I will definitely come back. Grazie!

+ Amazingly beautiful old building, just 10 minutes walk on the flat from the main train station (with luggage). The hosts were charming, genuinely welcoming and helpful. Our room, spacious and voluminous, had the most beautiful frescoed ceiling.
− Once inside the building, there are a significant number of stairs (105 i think i counted), to get to the actual hotel; there is no lift. Best is to leave your big bags at the entrance and the lovely people will provide you with a key to the locked storeroom on the ground level. There we left our big bags and just worked with hand luggage.
