Hotel maravilloso
Pros:

El hotel precioso y el personal súper simpático.

Cons:

El parking está cerca pero cargar con la maleta por suelo de piedras no es muy cómodo. Podrían dar la opción de descargar el coche en la puert.

Pros:

Staff are excellent couldn’t be more helpful

Cons:

The hotel is next to a bar that plays music until 02:30 and people clear by 03:00. If you are on the 2nd floor it’s okay, we moved to a first floor room and you may as well give in and have a beer

Pros:

In pieno centro storico, molto confortevole e pulitissimo, staff molto cortese e disponibile. Seguire le indicazioni messe a disposizione per trovare il parcheggio, che non è vicinissimo ( circa 400 mt) ma convenzionato( 5€/giorno).
Colazione ottima. Purtroppo di notte le nostre finestre affacciavani su un vicolo che amplifica il rumore della movida

Cons:

Rumore notturno dalla strada pedonale
