The hotel was lovely - small and quiet. It is a sister hotel to the AX Rosselli which covered the check in, check out and breakfast. The real stars of the stay were the staff. They were all so welcoming, professional and accommodating. Honestly, it is the top notch service which would encourage me to return.

Not the best but great location

No outside window made the room very dark so wouldn’t stay again. Staff were lovely and so was breakfast but no facilities and not made aware of whether we could use facilities in sister hotel. Superb location for sites and restaurants and bars though.
