Ventana al sassi
Pros:

La ubicación y las vistas de la habitación. En la entrada tiene unos pequeños miradores muy bonitos. Es antiguo pero es muy acogedor. Desde el baño de la habitación también tienes unas maravillosas vistas.

Hermoso hotel con vista a los sassi
Pros:

La ubicación es buena, hay señalizaciones para llegar y se ve toda la ciudad y teníamos un balconcito re lindo en la habitación; la misma es grande y se nota que formo parte de los sassi, es como estar en una gruta pero confortable, la ducha tiene buena presión de agua. El desayuno es excelente, rico, abundante y variado. El personal amable.

Cons:

Nada
