Friendly hotel in city center
Pros:

Friendly staff. Hotel is top two stories of an old palazzo. Beautiful view of the city from the terraces where we had breakfast. Our room was quiet, except for a short period of outside music Saturday night. Breakfast was goid.

Bell'albergo centrale .Cordialità e gentilezza e professionalità del personale
Pros:

Bella la terrazza per colazione e ottima la posizione ;staff e servizi anche al breakfast cortesi e professionali

Cons:

Forse un po' cara la colazione , in considerazione del divieto - peraltro giusto - di non portare via cibo. QUalità cibo buona
Un po' difficoltoso la mobilità (rampe e scale intermedie) per disabili in alcune zone dell'hotel.
qualche dotazione interna alle camere un po' datata. Bagno un po' piccolo;
