The hotel offers a spacious and comfortable stay with an essential air conditioning feature for the summer months. The on-room espresso machine and balcony add extra charm, along with a delightful private garden. However, dining options could be expanded for a more satisfying experience. The central location above the main square provides easy access to explore the old town and enjoy the surroundings.
