One of the best hotels I've been to and I've been to many. Highly recommended! A boutique hotel that combines a beautiful old building with a renovated and amazing room that includes, among other things, an excellent bed and a luxuriously equipped bathroom. There is attention to every detail. Cleanliness and comfort in every corner. Very good location and there is also a bonus: wonderful attitude from the hosts Vittoria and Ken.
