Contratto Winery

Ricardo was very welcomng and grqciously accommodated my early arrival. The room is a fully modern one in an ancient building with stone steps and classic acrchitectural touches still in place. And steps from Piazza San Lorenzo, the harbour, and several Metro stops. Cafes, art shops, narrow local lanes all within steps. Ideal location. Walkable from the cruise port and two main strain stations.

Where do I begin? Besides the fantastic location, the staff is a huge plus for this exclusive property that shares a relationship with Grand Hotel Sitea across the street. The dining at Carmen e Camilo is superb, lunch and dinner… the staff give a cell phone that is your butler on call, and even answers to walking directions or “ call me a taxi” or “ take me back to the hotel”. The history of the Royal Suites building is spooky sexy. There’s a private spa only for suites guests , and room service is included, or you can go across the street to Grand Hotel Sitea for the big breakfast Buffett, and American bar. The walking distance to the greatest shops , museums and theaters is another huge plus! Church bells ring beautifully at 12pm and 5:30 daily. The sense of kindness, respect and even dog friendliness is everywhere! After being in Milan, I. Onpletely fell head over heels for Torino thanks to the amazing experience of The Royal Suites. The high speed train was SO fun, too! You can be in Como in less than 2 hours, Switzerland and France too. I felt completely pampered , and safe. Totally worth every dollar! I will absolutely go back and stay no where else !

This is a lovely hotel, hosted by a warm, friendly staff. It is much better than a typical hotel. The people took care that are every need was taken care of. Very peaceful and yet convenient to everything.
