My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although spacious and beautiful, could use some updates due to their outdated interior. The service, particularly from Gianpaolo & Martina, was incredibly helpful and friendly, though there were instances where it felt a bit lacking. The location was superb with a stunning view from the top floor, but the busy atmosphere made it a little noisy at night. The dining experience was a bit hit or miss, ranging from top-notch to slightly disorganized. Overall, the hotel offered a comfortable stay with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The room I had on the first night was beautiful, with a large balcony offering a gorgeous view of the cathedral. The location of the hotel is superb, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The mattress was excellent and provided a much-needed retreat after a quirky Air BNB experience in Montepulciano the night before.
