We really enjoyed our stay at Il Leone Blu. The location was excellent, the room was comfortable, and the service was warm and welcoming. A couple of small things could be improved: the shower cabin could be a bit bigger, and the breakfast could offer more variety. Overall, it was a very good experience and we would recommend it.
