“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.”

generally satisfactory experience

spacious roomconvenient locationroom servicegarden viewsmall deskhidden closet
the room was spacious. i stayed in the 'prestige double room' (i liked the style). breakfast was delivered to the room each morning. the location was also very convenient for accessing different parts of the area.
my room overlooked a wall with trash cans below. it was not the garden view i expected. the shower had a tv, but i could not see it from the bed. the desk was also very small and hidden in a closet.

i found adorable decorations and a warm atmosphere throughout the hotel. it is a boutique hotel, so i did not expect large social gatherings. i felt everything was very thoughtful and added to my enjoyment of the visit.
i noted some noise from people walking in the room above me, which occasionally disturbed me. this could be improved with better sound insulation in the ceiling. otherwise, i had a great experience.
