The property is in an ideal location with great transport links. I cannot fault the rooms or amenities, every need is catered for. Beds and pillows very comfy and a good breakfast selection in the beautiful dining room. The lovely owner greets you in the morning and is very helpful. If you prefer a traditional, historical and genuine Italian feel, then this is the accommodation for you.

As an old castle, it has passages and rooms between bedrooms. Rooms are large; bathrooms have steps into them. Light fixtures are older, and lighting is somewhat limited in the rooms. The hotel concierge is very accommodating.

More of a moderate-priced rooming house style than a hotel. The entrance is very dark, so are the hallways inside. Clean room, but worn. The shower backed up & water came out on the floor. Helpful staff.

I was awakened at 7 am by noise of people installing floors right next door to my room. It is not a hotel, just a whole bunch of rooms in one of the floors of a building. The description was misleading, stating that there was parking. I was not able to find parking within 500 meters of the room and ended up parking in the street risking a ticket or getting towed. Driving to the house was not safe with people in two different traffic lights wanting to to clean the car for money and getting upset when told not to.

Friendly helpful proprietor. Large clean room, well insulated from noise, comfy bed. Amazingly decorated breakfast room , with a good choice of continental breakfasts. Only downside was no plug in the sink or bidet. Bring a universal plug with you if required!

Firstly, the staff was excellent and the building beautiful. We did not have breakfast but could see what was pre prepped for the next day and the owner even allowed us to get coffee and a yogurt in the AM but we did not. We did get a water for the road. We had an early flight out the next morning, so we could not experience breakfast but I am sure it would have been quite a spread. Room was clean but warm so we opened our balcony window for the breeze but because of a festival going on, it was quite noisy at midnight. Parking was atrocious. The street it is on was lined with tents (closed vendors) where google maps wanted to take us. A local on the street did not let us squeeze down this street and because so many streets were one way or blocked created quite an issue to get there. At one point, the Nissan crossover could not fit around the corner of a street and we had to go up on a curb to turn the corner. This is not the fault of the owner. But simply if we would have know about closed streets, we would have not booked there. We did park on the street which since we were leaving the hotel at 6 AM, the owner said we should be fine. It appears that we were. Elevator was broken so we had to go up three flights of stairs with our luggage. Thank you to the owner for trying to make the accommodation the best he could in the given circumstance.

A 20 room hotel on 2 floors with an elevator located in a palazzo owned by the Curia Family( owner is a Baron). Beautiful breakfast room painted with 100 year old murals in the Baroqe style. A wonderful breakfast buffet with pastries, cakes, fruit, cheeses, cured meats, juices , hard cooked eggs, yogurt, selection of coffees and teas and marinated vegetables and cold cereals. Excellent location in Center city. Manager is very helpful and friendly. My room was beautiful with a small balcony. Very clean. I recommend this hotel.
