    Recommend it for couples looking to unwind

    We had a fantastic experience at the rooftop bar. sipping on drinks while taking in the view was unforgettable. Plus, our room was cozy, and the staff made sure we felt right at home with their attentive service.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but acceptable given the overall quality we received.

    The whole story in a nutshell

    A glorious stay at a magnificent location! The rooftop pool offers breathtaking views, especially at sunset. My room had exquisite frescoes and a private terrace, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. Staff were incredibly attentive. Alissia truly went above and beyond to help during a tough week. Can’t wait to return!

    spectacular views
    excellent breakfast
    average room
    high price
    variable service

    The location is ideal, just a short walk to major attractions. The views from the room were spectacular, especially from the rooftop bar, which offered an amazing ambiance. However, the room was somewhat average for the price during peak season and did not feel particularly premium. While the service was generally helpful, it could improve in certain areas. Breakfast options were excellent, featuring authentic dishes that added to the overall experience.

    stunning view
    cramped bathroom
    small shower

    The suite was spacious and really comfy. There were nice amenities everywhere, and I loved the little touches like the fruit and biscotti basket. The decor felt modern and fresh. The view of the piazza was stunning! But the bathroom could feel a bit cramped, especially with two people getting ready.

    clean room
    attentive staff
    inefficient service

    good location , but service could improve

    The room was large and clean, providing ample space for relaxation. The staff was lovely and attentive to our needs, ensuring we felt welcomed. I enjoyed the city view from my room, which really enhanced the experience and made my evenings delightful.

    The service, while friendly, sometimes lacked the efficiency expected from a high-end establishment.
