Very nice aristocratic mansion in a romantic garden. The location is outside the city walls but within easy walking distance to the very center of town. Our room, which seems to have been the main central (honeymoon) room with a balcony to the front, was gigantic and decorated in a modern fashion with good taste and style. The only disadvantage was that the bed is located upstairs directly under the roof, so it got rather hot during the night (admittedly with record temperatures outside during the whole week). Our stay was only for one night so we couldn´t really use all the facilities and options. As we also had to leave early in the morning, we couldn´t try the full breakfast, which looked very nice on the neighbouring tables. All in all a very good value for money.

“Delightful B+B inside city walls but surrounded by greenery”

Stayed just the one night and was delighted with the welcome and the useful information from our hostess. We had a room with a bedroom above it and it was quiet and peaceful. Plenty of room.

“Lovely situation”

I totally agree with the previous person about this property. It is in a lovely situation 20 mins walk from town , quiet , beautiful and a good place to stay. We borrowed the bycs which is great fun. Room clean but the shower area really needs a good bleach and redo! Good breakfast absolutely fine.… more

“Disappointing”

We have just spent 3 nights in the King suite . On arrival the hotel does not fail to impress , the villa is beautiful set in huge gardens with lots of seating areas.

We have just spent 3 nights in the King suite . On arrival the hotel does not fail to impress , the villa is beautiful set in huge gardens with lots of seating areas. The location is fantastic being within the city walls and about a 20 minute walk into the centre. Checkin was quick and efficient . Parking was private and secure and free. The reception area is very smart but on entering the accommodation area of the hotel we were immediately struck by how tired the decor looked, it is white everywhere including the floors which unfortunately is not very practical for guests dragging cases and looked quite scruffy. Our room was a large suite with the bedroom on the mezzanine level it looked amazing at first but the bathroom is in the sitting room with the shower all clear glass so that you are actually on show as in a gold fish bowl even sitting on the toilet !!! A small screen is provided to give some privacy but doesn’t cover the whole glass area. I cannot imagine who designed this its awful. We had a lovely balcony overlooking the front of the hotel and the furniture was comfortable and modern . We arrived just as the weather turned very hot but unfortunately the air conditioning wasn’t working and the upstairs bedroom became very hot and there are no proper windows to open only a sky light with not nets, however after the first night we asked for a fan and they kindly provided one. Breakfast was pretty average not that much choice apart from cakes and little fresh fruit . This hotel could be fantastic and I would say is value for money but it needs a fresh coat of paint and better breakfast .

“Lovely surroundings, average otherwise”

Easy hotel to get to by car. Small and muddy parking lot, just enough space for the hotel guests, but risks of getting blocked in when full. You have to handle four different keys to the various doors. Standard Italian breakfast, a bit put off by the ants crawling over all the pastries. Nice touch … more

Easy hotel to get to by car. Small and muddy parking lot, just enough space for the hotel guests, but risks of getting blocked in when full. You have to handle four different keys to the various doors. Standard Italian breakfast, a bit put off by the ants crawling over all the pastries. Nice touch with making the coffee (although from a capsule) for us in the morning, and freshly squeezed juice in the morning. The local tax was not able to be dealt with other than with cash, separate from the other bill. Very spacious and nice hotelrooms, but you hear too much of the neighbours when in the top part of the room, not easy to sleep when you have neighbours watching TV half the night. Best part is being so close to the walls for walks/run and the 15 - 20 minute walk to the center of town is through a nice park and by the lovely palazzo dei diamanti. I might consider it again, but not completely convinced. Best suited for old couples I think.
