Best location if you what to see all the historical places and get to S.M.Novella by walk
Pros:

The room is even better than it was on photos. Clean, stylish, nice robe, towels and great air conditioning! You get your breakfast in your room by request.

Cons:

In common areas there are lilies everywhere, the scent of the flower is very heavy too me (but also beautiful)

非常棒!
Pros:

很棒的体验!请一定要选套房。原是私邸,建于16世纪文艺复兴时期,后被Forneris家族收购,其主人Luciano曾是Vogue Italy主编,管家说其曾去过半殖民时期的清朝。酒店风格是Italo Chinoiserie,混搭复古家具、古董藏品及后现代软装,走廊挂了一副郎世宁的乾隆及孝贤仿作,并摆放着浮世绘的介绍。很中国韵味
