This is a cosy boutique hotel, finely situated in the middle of the city and a true sample of excellent hospitality. My stay was extremely comfortable. Definitely will go back here. Highly recommended! P.S. The rooftop pool is a bonus gem!

Comfirtable and spacious room. Staff was friendly and excellent service provided. Dissapointed in breakfast buffet- very "average" quality food- not the same quality we received in other hotels in Italy, especially a bummer in the "food capitol" of Italy
