Reception was very friendly and helpful, ensuring we had all the information we needed about the city's events and restaurants. The room was beautiful, spacious, and offered a stunning view of the countryside. The hotel's breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options available, including fresh honeycomb. We also enjoyed the hotel's facilities, particularly the roof terrace with its breathtaking views of the city. The location of the hotel was convenient, just outside the city walls but within a short walking distance to the main attractions such as Il Campo and the Duomo. we appreciated the proximity to neighboring towns, allowing for easy day trips.
Can't fault anything about it.
The location was perfect, just inside the city gates, making it easy for us to walk to the Duomo and Piazza di Campo. The hotel facilities were excellent, with a rooftop bar/restaurant that offered breathtaking views of the surroundings. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, and the staff provided an excellent service. We were also pleased with the free parking, which allowed us easy access to the many bars, restaurants, and shops in the old city.
Nothing to mention, everything was great.
The hotel is conveniently located with free private parking. It is within walking distance to the center of town and close to restaurants and bars. The staff is friendly and helpful.
For us, it was ideal.
