Great location?
Pros:

Carla, the manager, was fantastic! Really friendly and helpful. Overall, loved our stay.

Cons:

The building is very old which is lovely, but in terms of practicality isn’t ideal! We both had to sit down in the bath (couldn’t stand for a shower) because the ceiling was so low.

Pros:

La posizione è centralissima e molto comodo il parcheggio privato gratuito (che va prenotato prima perché non è grande). La colazione è molto varia ed abbondante. Staff cordiale e gentile.

Cons:

La camera è davvero poco insonorizzata, si sentiva la tv della stanza accanto come se fosse nella nostra.

Pros:

Location and secure off road hotel parking.
Lovely room
Nice breakfast and friendly staff

Cons:

Very steep stairs to top floor. Being in our 70s/80s we would have preferred a room on lower floors. However we do appreciate the historical age of the hotel and what goes with it. Would definitely stay there again.

Great location, nice room.

The steps are very steep as its on the highest floor, and as a person with difficulty walking I found this very challenging and needed assistance from my partner to navigate these.

Excellent location: very friendly staff.
Pros:

The attitude of the staff was excellent. Very friendly and always happy to help. The breakfasts are very good and a good range of options. The location - in the main square - is excellent and although central it is very quiet late at night : which is good for sleeping.
