a mixed experience in a historical building

renaissance atmosphereno air conditioningsteep stairs
the building has a renaissance atmosphere with high ceilings.
I found that the absence of air conditioning was a significant issue, the provided fans barely helped. accessing the hotel was also difficult. The street door was often locked. the climb up four flights of stairs with luggage was quite challenging..

charming stay close to everything

I appreciated the central location. It was very easy to walk to many main attractions (e. g. duomo). the staff were friendly and provided complimentary hot drinks each morning. i found the bed comfortable,.
during my stay, i realized there was no air conditioning in the rooms. the floor fans did little to alleviate the heat, so it was uncomfortable during the warm days. i recommend visitors traveling during summer consider this.
