We had an amazing stay at Hotel Palladio. We considered changing plans for the rest of our vacation to stay longer. The staff were amazing and helped us find good spots to eat and even arrange a transfer when we had issues. The location was great, the room was beautiful, well laid out and the view was spectacular. We will be back! Grazie Mille Hotel Palladio.
