Pleased we made the decision to to stay there
Pros:

Lovely welcome and check in process. Room was very pleasant. Plenty of hanging space in room and wardrobe and proper coat hangers! Breakfast menu was very good and everything was beautifully presented. All the staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. Would have been happy to have stayed more than one night - which, for us, is always a good measure of whether we like somewhere.

Cons:

The lighting in the bathroom wasn't the best for my husband shaving - but that is more an observation than a criticism.

Pros:

Ristorante caldo e accogliente sia per la cena che per la colazione. Personale gentile

Cons:

La prima stanza classica che ci hanno assegnato non sembrava in linea con la categoria che ci si poteva aspettare al prezzo richiesto, per fortuna abbiamo avuto la loro disponibilità a cambiare con una stanza nettamente più confortevole. Da tornarci
