Solo traveller August 2024 I don’t normally write reviews but I couldn’t possibly not share this experience with others about this utterly romantic, charmful hotel, which was an experience that I’ll hold close to my heart forever. I’ve travelled to many countries on my own and vowed I’d never go back to the same place twice, until now! The hotel itself was beyond what I had expected from my extensive google searches before I went. It’s stunning, every new part I discovered, was another ‘oh wow’ moment! Though it has to be said that it’s the staff that makes this hotel even more special. The cleaners, the waiting staff, the receptionists, Roberto :) (the bar man) and the owner of the hotel all in their own unique way make you feel like you’re an old friend, and not in a ‘it’s our job’ way but in a genuine manner, which is yet another thing that separates this hotel from others. As soon as you walk out of the hotel, your steps away from so many restaurants, cafes, clothes shops, pharmacies, a supermarket ,hairdressers, the train station. The funicular, and pasta/wine making classes were also available literally 10/15 minutes walk away. Two events I would highly recommend. After 2 weeks staying here, I still had so many things I wanted to see, do, so I guess I’ll need to come back :)! The pool was also a very welcomed addition, and yes you did get the few dedicated ‘first thing in the morning, drop our towels on the lounger people’ but very often there was plenty of empty ones too, and that was in 37 degrees weather. Thank you to the receptionist and the very sweet funny waitress (I’m sorry I didn’t get their names) for helping me to zip up my dress, quite a sight the 3 of us in the reception area! Lastly the night before I had to unfortunately leave, I asked Fabio in reception what time I needed to check out, he kindly granted me a late check out without me even asking, whilst putting my mind at ease regarding the numerous questions I had about getting a taxi, do the trains run frequently etc. I was fretting about my departure, but he quickly put my mind at ease. Next day, whilst checking out I was chatting to the owner (again never got her name). This woman looks like she came straight from a movie set, but don’t be put off by her grand demeanour , such a down to earth woman with the most biggest, gentlest smile :) Thank you for our chat and your kind words, a perfect ending to a perfect stay All in all 100 out of 5 stars
Very Good
