I loved this hotel! The Italian decor in the rooms with a spacious terrace was simply amazing. The strong shower in the good-sized bathroom was a great feature. The location in a hidden garden in the city center was a true gem for sightseeing in the old town. However, the hot sandwiches were not as impressive as expected during dining.
