This hotel was a perfect spot for our honeymoon. We stayed in July 2025. Its far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk to everything in the core. The tram station is close so commuting around was easy, especially to the airport. There is a fantastic restaurant around the corner.. best pizza in Italy I swear! Its called Ristorante Pizzeria da Nasone
