The 15th-century building has all modern conveniences, but its Renaissance charm still shines. Rooms have high ceilings (some are coffered) and windows are triple-glazed. Contemporary prints and paintings on the walls contrast nicely with classic furnishings. Larger-than-usual single rooms have French-style beds and are a good choice for those traveling alone. Breakfast can be enjoyed in a small outdoor garden when weather permits. Though the hotel is in the centro storico, it still feels somewhat off the beaten path. Pros: Stellar multilingual staff. Cons: Rooms facing the street can be a little noisy.
