Fodor's Expert Review
In the picturesque, medieval Borgo neighborhood in the shadow of St. Peter's, this small, fashionable hotel is a good value. The stylish, ample guest rooms feature new wood-beam ceilings, designer fabrics, and comfy beds; the marvelously decorated and spacious attic rooms also have tiny terraces. The frescoes in the vaulted breakfast room and the fountain in the courtyard add an individual touch.
