“The blend of modern design within a classic building makes for a distinctive stay, enhanced by a garden that offers a peaceful escape. Its location places guests conveniently near the Leaning Tower, yet removed from the busiest tourist areas. In my opinion, the boutique setting, complete with amenities like spa services and on-site dining, elevates it beyond a typical three-star experience.”

the breakfast had a very good selection of fresh food (i especially liked the fruit). the waitress was kind and very helpful. she was always smiling and looked after us each morning. the terrace and garden were a lovely setting for breakfast too.

the room felt a little empty due to the high ceilings and minimal furnishings.

I enjoyed the beautiful garden area for relaxation. the breakfast room was lovely, and it had an excellent range of options.. i liked the fresh fruit. the hotel location is central. It is within walking distance to the main city attractions and the train station.

The room had a very empty feeling to it. the ceilings were very high, which led to a cavernous feeling due to the hard floors and very little furnishings. the bathroom was ridiculously small. My knees touched the wall while i sat on the toilet..
