The hotel is beautiful and 5-star in name, but the experience didn't match that standard, or what we've come to
Pros:

The breakfast was excellent. Really delicious food! Staff at breakfast was also really welcoming! The bartender at the terrace while we waited for our room noticed we were tired and kindly made us drinks and sent out some snacks, a thoughtful touch we really appreciated.

Cons:

We are frequent guests of Leading Hotels of the World properties, and this was, for the first time, a disappointing experience within this network.

Arrival and parking: We reached out in advance asking for guidance on parking because of the ZTL, and the response we got was fairly shallow. Once we arrived at the car park, there was no one there to receive us, and we had to wait for the driver then for other guests. The driver spent the whole ride speaking Italian with them, completely ignoring our presence.

Check-in: We arrived around 2pm, ahead of the official check-in time, and reception turned out to be tedious, forced, and way tooooo long. We were exhausted and just wanted to get to the room, but she even followed us inside and kept talking, even after we said "it's great, thank you" three times, trying to signal we were done 😅. Unlike every other hotel on this trip, there was no acknowledgment at all that we were on our honeymoon, despite having noted it at booking.

Room: The air conditioning simply couldn't keep up, the bed was nice but the room was SO hot we couldn’t sleep well. Also we were woken up at 7 a.m. by the sound of car horns and carts on the cobblestones. The room and bathroom were spacious and well-appointed, and we liked the amenities too. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was broken and leaking, a small detail that shows a lack of care.

No meu quarto ouvia-se muito barulho do exterior. Principalmente a partir das 7 horas da manhã era impossível dormir com o barulho de limpeza na rua e obras

Pros:

Lokatie is top

Cons:

Douche was een oude stenen bak met aanslag op vloer en wand. Voelt als onhygienisch aan, niet passend bij een 5sterren lokatie
