Loved by guests
"When visiting very old historical cities I like if the hotel design matches and is not too modern and I was very satisfied."
"Our room we were very pleasantly surprised to find was the Orvalle Suite which comprises a spacious sitting room, lovely bedroom and marble clad bathroom."
"Even though this hotel is a stone's throw from Piazza Maggiore, and they're an action movie playing on the big screen, I couldn't hear it."

Each room includes a flat-screen smart TV with Italian and international channels, a safe, free Wi-Fi, a minibar, air-conditioning, a kettle, and a marble bathroom with a shower or bathtub.
