charming stay near the heart of town

private accessbeautiful roomamazing staff

the hotel's location placed me near all the action. it provided private access solely for hotel guests. the staff stood out, especially valentina, dianna, stefano, emmanuelle, eleisa, denise, and miriam. i stayed in room 22 and it matched my anniversary date so well , such a pleasant coincidence.

the bar closed quite early at 10pm , a bit limiting for evening relaxation.
