Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms, although a bit small, were beautifully decorated in a unique style that blended modern colors with the historic building. The lack of air conditioning made the room quite warm, but the array of local cheeses, meats, and breads provided a delicious touch to the stay.
The hotel's rooms were small but had air conditioning, were clean, and had nice bathrooms. The décor was unique and in keeping with the building's style. The WiFi worked well. The central location in the main tower was convenient.
My stay at the hotel was incredible! The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, including a modern shower room with all the necessary amenities. I loved having free wifi and indulging my sweet tooth with delicious cakes for breakfast. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the charming towns nearby, although the ancient stone steps were a bit challenging at times.
