Excellent quality of the rooms and of the service provided by the impeccable staff. A pity that there was a fair bit of street noise overnight (e.g. garbage tracks operating for several minutes) that could not be fully insulated by the windows.

Absolutely loved our stay here. It's a former palace and the room was huge with a wonderful patio. They had a excellent breakfast, the staff was awesome (shout out to Martina and Paolo). Would stay again in a second. The city is very walkable and Martina and Paolo were incredibly helpful with restaurants and sights. We did not want to leave.

Wonderful stay. Everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Our host helped us find dinner and explained everything about the city of Pavia. Breakfast was excellent, and everything tasted wonderfully fresh. Pavia was refreshing in that it wasn't at all touristy.

Beautiful facility, excellent and very available staff with personalized touch. It's one of the most expensive hotels in Pavia but hey it's in a palazzo with a massive courtyard covered by a dome and has deep soaking tubs and daily housekeeping. Also a great location and wonderful breakfast. Get the aperitivo on the balcony one evening before you go out to dinner!

Breakfast room and terrasse was not available on day 2 and the floor was taken over by a crew working on a TV program. We were also woken up by the noise they made. The managers knew and did not inform us before our trip nor offered a discount on our second night for the inconvenience caused. Unacceptable considering the price we paid for the room.

This is a beautiful renovated Castle. The room was impeccably clean it was well decorated and very comfortable. The location is perfect it's right in downtown Pavia you can walk to almost anything you'd like to see or do. There is a cafe directly below the floor of your hotel which is very convenient. As I mentioned you're in the middle of downtown so you all you have to do is walk down stairs walk out of the the little plaza where you are and you'll find stores and restaurants and cafes so you're never at a loss for something to eat or see or do or buy. There is a small elevator and the hotel which is very common for most European hotels there is also a marble stair well which I prefer to use. The only downside of having one floor with rooms and other floors being occupied with offices or tenants is that because of the old style balcony doors windows you can hear everything that's going on outside. We could hear the kids that would be hanging out outside at night and we could hear the workers and tenants of the building it wasn't terribly distracting but I kept thinking, wow they can also hear everything we're saying and doing as well. But the noise is just the price you have to pay for such a centrally-located, old renovated building, it's actually part of the charm.
