A piece of the countryside within the city’s walls, the hotel is located away from the old town. It is best suited to visitors coming by car or to those ready to use bicycles to get around locally. For us it was delightful to walk through the quiet city with its fine Renaissance mansions to get to and from the hotel which is located close to the north west section of the city’s surrounding ramparts. The garden setting is attractive, our room was comfortable and was kept clean and a fine breakfast (fruits, breads,pastries, salumi, cheeses, hard boiled eggs,etc) is provided.
