תודה רבה, נשמח לחזור!
Pros:

צוות מקסים! בהחלט נחזור שוב.
עיירה יפה, יושבים על נוף מטורף
מחייב רכב, יש מסעדה במלון.
נראה כמו מקום שהזמן עצר

Cons:

מחייב רכב לצערי, מוניות 20€ ל3 דקות נסיעה רחוק ממרכז העיר.

Posizione meravigliosa ma il vero luxury è stata Valentina la ragazza della reception

Non prenoterei mai più
Pros:

La vista

Cons:

Camera claustrofobia, una persona di 170 cm si deve sedere nella vasca per non sbattere con la testa contro il soffitto quando fa la doccia. Tv piccolissima. Reception non presidiata dopo le 23.

Bello
Pros:

Stanza bellissima, suite con vista mozzafiato, pulita

Cons:

Fare la doccia è un impresa, con la vasca non si può stare in piedi che picchi la testa sul tetto in quanto mansardato.
Infinite scale per arrivare in stanza

Un gioiellino nei Castelli Romani
Pros:

La cura nei particolari: piante ornamentali, suppellettili e l'arredamento in parte antico riciclato e abbinato con moderno.
Un particolare saluto a Elisa. Molto gentile e brava nel suo lavoro

Cons:

Un piccolo neo: durante la colazione non averci avvisato che iniziavano a ritirare il buffet.
Nella nostra camera il bagno avrva una grande splendida finestra ma purtroppo sprovvista di tenda. Essendo collegata con il balcone, uscendo dalla camera mancava la privacy. Ripeto tutto bello!
