This hotel is in a prime central location, set in a beautiful old Italian building full of charm. The atmosphere is wonderful, especially the patio area which is an open, garden-like space on the 2nd floor where you can order coffee or drinks. It felt like the perfect respite after a long day in the city. There are also elegant common areas to work, furnished in an old-school style. My room was surprisingly large (even for a single), very quiet, and had excellent water pressure. The internet worked flawlessly throughout my stay. The bed was a simple twin with just a sheet, and the A/C and heat worked great. Breakfast was superb, with plenty of options and great quality. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the price was very reasonable for the location. The hotel is surrounded by great dining and shopping, including a grocery store, a fun open-air market right outside, and excellent pizza places. It’s also easy to catch a taxi to the airport. My flight left early (6am), and I opted to stay here even though it was a bit longer of a distance. It worked out fine. Overall, a beautiful stay that combines Italian old-school character, comfort, and convenience, I would highly recommend it. The price was also quite good for the quality of the stay.
