Charming Hotel Stay
quiet roomwine gatheringsuperb staff
This hotel offered only twenty six rooms. My room was spacious with good quality pillows. I liked evening wine and snack gatherings. Francesco gave great attention to guests. Lisette, Cody and Paris at the reception also provided superb service.
Furniture felt old and the decor was dated. the beds sit very high, which might be a risk for children.

The Beautiful Queen Room offers a separate dressing room and kitchenette. I loved vintage-style entrance. There were sofas in the living room where my daughter played. The bed provide good comfort.
