Guest reviews
Exceptional
Liked: Location fantastic
Disliked: Bed mattress, some sort of foam, felt like I was sleeping on a slope, breakfast hit and miss, when enough for all of us, fantastic. Swimming is very very small, unheated and in the shade, so very cold. Staff were. Ery helpfull and friendly..shower hit and miss some tes would stop completely. Issue with pump apparently.
Amazing stay
Liked: This is a great stay, perfect location to walk through the beautiful city. We found the room really comfortable and the breakfast was totally amazing
Disliked: Na
Liked: The owner was amazing, very involved with ensuring the guests were happy and enjoying their stay. The spay was great. I suggest going for a larger room, as they are all different and unique. The rest of the staff were always polite and very keen to help.
Disliked: Probably should have booked earlier and booked a larger room.
Average stay in a good location
Liked: Great location, close to the Cathedral and Palazzo
Disliked: I would not consider this a 4 star hotel and calling it a luxury boutique hotel and spa is a bit of a stretch. The pool is very average, and is down an alley outside the hotel. The rooms are quirky but there is a lot of noise from other rooms and from the plumbing system.
If you’re very short, a great place to stay
Liked: Wonderful and helpful staff, huge breakfasts, artistic touches everywhere. We felt well taken care of.
Disliked: We were on the fourth floor, which was too short to be an actual room - more of a crawl space / attic. We are only 170cm but could never stand up straight in the room.
Perfect location, with friendly helpful staff
Liked: Staff were very friendly and helpful offering tips on what to visit. The pool, across a small street from the main hotel building, is in a unique and beautiful setting surrounded by old buildings and is well kept with shower and toilet facilities. The breakfast was large and varied with Sicilian pastries.
Disliked: Our room fridge was a bit old, and some lightbulbs needing replacing in our room … the pool isn’t heated so in October it was quite cool - although we did expect that. The hot tub wasn’t that hot.
