This was the best hotel I’ve stayed at! The staff were absolutely incredible, the restaurant and breakfast were delicious, and the hotel was clean and in a very convenient location. I would stay here again! Alessio from the restaurant and Nicola who drove us in a shuttle were amazing and so helpful.
