- "The hotel is beautiful. We have stayed here before and especially enjoyed lounging on their poolside patio with a drink from the bar. They have everything the traveler needs for a pleasant stay, including a wealth of local knowledge to share. Francesco and the gentlemen at Reception were excellent in their service and attention to their guests. They were gracious and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and we're very responsive to our questions and our every need, with such kindness. The warm and professional service was supreme. The breakfast was copious with plenty of choices. The nearby Bistro La Caverna was equally wonderful and charming for dinner. During our stay we had unusually terrible weather, but the staff made us feel at home and we relaxed in the lobby while we waited out the rain. We are seasoned travelers and this was the absolute best experience in accommodations ever."
