In brief

What works, what to weigh

  • Modern, well-equipped apartments — Recently refurbished units come with a kitchen, dining area, flat-screen TV, air conditioning and tea and coffee facilities, along with a full-size bed.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in restricted to 15:00–20:00 — Arrivals outside this window will need to make alternative arrangements, so plan your travel times accordingly.
  • No pets allowed — The apartments are strictly no-pets, so this won't suit travellers with animals.
  • Street-level entrance in a narrow alley — The property is on Vicolo Del Guascone, a small lane, and room types don't mention lifts — potential issue for those with heavy luggage.
  • Limited soundproofing from the city — Being in the historic centre, street noise can drift in — a couple of guests mentioned the lively nightlife nearby.
