Our stay at this property was a pleasant surprise. We stayed in their off-site apartment building which was perfect. Clean, comfy, and accompanied by great air-conditioning. We had a full kitchen which came in handy for leftovers that we folded together with some local wine. The roof deck at the hotel is lovely. The cocktails and small plates were delicious and the staff was pleasant and very accommodating. Parking (if you have a car) is a short walk and next to a fabulous coffee house (Mr. Coffee). The coffee house has several breakfast options to fuel your morning. For the price point, If leverage this property again on the next venture to Bologna.

Fabulous hotel

Tucked off the main street, this hotel is a fabulous place to stay. Really handy for all attractions and really centrally located. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean, spacious and cool in the heat. The staff in the rooftop bar were lovely and the cocktails were great too. Would recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay again.

Booked two rooms, both in courtyard. You have to take three levels of stairs, go outside down a set of stairs then over a wooden walkway with luggage. Room 603 smelled like sewage at all times, shower had zero privacy and an awkward step down into the bathroom. Hotel was in ok area, not bad but not great. Black mold in the shower and in the coffee maker (have photos). I would absolutely not recommend this location if given these overpriced rooms.
