“A stay here feels deeply personal, more like being a guest in a stylish home than a anonymous hotel. The location places you steps from the station and a manageable walk to the Duomo, but the real draw is the unique décor that blends retro and modern styles with a curated touch. I especially appreciate the in-room breakfast service using local ingredients, minimizing waste while maximizing comfort.”
