One of the best mattresses I've slept in a hotel and trust me I know better since I am a private flight attendant and are outside home average of 200 night a year. Very friendly staff, modern design of rooms, very comfortable

Service was outstanding. Good location a few minutes walk from train station and everything we were there to see was walkable. Pillows were quite thin, but bed was comfortable. The end of the hallway we were at had a weird musky smell that was quite strong.

Nice hotel near railway station and short distance to Medici Cappelle and other main attractions.
We take a room with city view and have a balcony and view to piazza.

The hotel is beautiful, with a large and comfortable lobby area that is great for sitting with a drink or meeting your group. There are also some fun and unique touches in the hallways that made us smile. Wonderful breakfast included, which met the various preferences of our 4 person group. Helpful servers came around to take coffee orders and keep tables clean. Room was clean and well appointed, with a beautiful bathroom and very nice toiletries. Comfortable bed, high quality linens. Staff was friendly and helpful with everything from checkin to helping us get a large taxi for departure. Location was excellent, right on a beautiful square and within walking distance of everything we wanted to do. Highly recommend.
