A modern hotel with some drawbacks

convenient location great breakfast well-equipped gym gym access small pool cramped room

The location proved convenient, with the T1 tram stop situated nearby. It allowed for quick access to the Duomo. Breakfast was a high point. The gym was surprisingly well-equipped.

The pool was quite small, and not suitable for swimming laps. The small double room felt too cramped relative to the cost.

A Romantic Italian Interlude

warm greeting celebratory champagne diligent service short stroll

The reception staff offered such a warm greeting. They always remembered us. They even surprised us with a bottle of celebratory champagne, a lovely welcome. Our room was always super clean because of the diligent daily cleaning service, I so valued it. It felt wonderful being only a short stroll from the heart of the city.

The gym access requiring an extra fee felt slightly inconvenient, especially since it was listed as included.

The hotel's location allowed for easy walking to the Duomo and all major sights. It felt central. Nestled in a tranquil area, it was silent, accessible, and only a ten-minute walk from attractions. We loved it. I appreciated the setting among sixteenth-century buildings.
