"Excellent stay - location is pretty perfect (about a 5 minute walk from the duomo) and the rooftop bar is lovely. Breakfast was pretty good with a nice selection of foods and the staff were very helpful at all times (even agreeing to a later check out to help as we were leaving). Rooms are very nice, good size and have most things you need (although no iron!!). Great city & a great place to stay. Bravo!"

This duration allows for a comprehensive experience, including visits to iconic landmarks such as the stunning cathedral, renowned museums, impressive monuments, and exquisite architecture. Guests can also enjoy shopping, fine art, charming churches, and vibrant theatres, making it a budget-friendly getaway that offers great value for money.
