8.7Verified guest“The hotel made a strong first impression. The pastries at nearby Caffe Vitti were excellent and quickly became our breakfast tradition, while the spacious rooms and rich history gave the stay a royal, masterpiece-like feel.”
8.7Verified guest“I was given a spacious and stunning room with a queen-size canopied bed and hand-painted walls.”
8.7Verified guest“The hotel was both straightforward and wonderful; we would definitely recommend it. The service was excellent, the room was large, and there were even features hidden behind secret panels. The location was perfect — about a five-minute walk from an aqueduct-fed rococo fountain — with restaurants and cafés nearby as a bonus.”
