"The best hotel experience I’ve ever had in my life. Service, food, cleanliness = outstanding. Very comfortable bed. Delicious fresh breakfast with lots of options. A great central location but still peaceful and quiet. Lovely views. Our host was superb and made sure we had everything we needed. Wish we could go back already. Note: you have to be in good enough shape to walk the steep cobblestone steps. It was a great workout after dining at the nearby restaurants."
