charming hotel with good breakfast
clean facilityrooftop terraceideal location
The facility was very cute when we arrived. I noticed someone was constantly dusting and cleaning, paying attention even to each chandelier piece and the stairwells. I liked the rooftop terrace, quiet with good seating, plants, and city views. The location was perfect. We walked to shopping, gelato, and dinner every day.
I noticed that the buildings become quite shabby very quickly upon exiting the hotel and turning left, which contrasted with the nicer experience when turning right.
