Its unique offering of pet-friendly rooms and turndown service caught my attention, and the terrace with Arno views seems hard to beat.

Good Stay with Excellent Amenities

The location was perfect for exploring. Major attractions were within easy walking distance. The hotel offered a beautiful garden where I enjoyed a peaceful breakfast (the pastries were really good!).
The air conditioning unit was quite old. It made considerable noise.

The room was very spacious and had wonderful blackout shades, ensuring a good night's sleep. The bed was large and very comfortable (which I always appreciate). The décor was timelessly decorated.
