Where to begin?
The hotel is beautiful, which retains many of the original features. Furniture is sympathetic to the era - so don't expect perfection.
Vincenzo is the best hotelier we've ever come across, he is knowledgable, empathetic and a credit to the hotel. On his recommendations we did a number of activities locally, and it absolutely made our holiday.
Breakfast is good, the room is fine especially given the price per night and the pool/wellness is delightful - with extremely attentive staff. There is a smell, which people have pointed out, but this is Telese terme water which is meant to be good for your skin - regardless, it is a cold plunge pool which is nice in the heat. The only thing that irked me was the swim hats, but here's your notice.
Otherwise it is a short drive away from a number of lovely villages, eateries and attractions.
