Sehr angenehmer Aufenthalt mit äusserst freundlichem Personal und super Frühstück
Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut, direkt an der Piazza grade, ganz leicht zurück versetzt. Bei Anlässen wie an der notte bianca war es bis spät in die Nacht sehr laut und an Schlaf war nicht zu denken. Sonst sehr angenehm und ruhig. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet, sehr vielfätig und frisch. Das Personal war extrem freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir würden wieder kommen, aber dann wenn auf der Piazza grande keine Anlässe stattfinden.
