I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, tucked away at the calm end of a small street but still within walking distance to the city center. The rooms were divine, featuring queen size four poster beds and a full kitchen. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience of fresh, made from scratch pizza was a true delight. The only downside was the lack of included meals, but the amenities and wonderful view more than made up for it.
