IL Carmine is a former convent and a historic building. Beautiful architecture. Very nice restaurant. The rooms are on the smaller side but very clean with excellent ensuite bathrooms. Pillows and queen mattress were in great shape and ac worked well. The staff were very helpful and friendly. An excellent breakfast was provided in the price of the room as was free parking right in front of the hotel. We found Il Carmine to be an excellent value.

Beautiful hotel. Room was clean and cozy. The bed was soft. The staff were friendly. We stayed mid October, during the off season, so the hotel restaurant was closed. I wish I would have know that in advance. Also, most restaurants were also closed for dinner in the area. Overall, good experience.

Il Carmine was previously a religious building and I can only feel envy for its past occupants - a beautiful building with lovely cool rooms and shuttered windows. It’s in a great location with virtually no noise around the building. The restaurant is also lovely!

Nice hotel in a, quiet location at the end of town. You can get to everything from here on foot. Good directions on where to park, what to see and do. Very nice staff. It would have been helpful for the hotel to send WhatsApp directions on the best way to reach the hotel; we ended up in the middle of the cobblestone town trying to navigate through it. Instead there was a second easier way (all paved roads) to the hotel we found out when leaving.

Il Carmine è un edificio storico del 1400 molto bello. La camera Junior Suite da noi prenotata si presenta grande, spaziosa e silenziosa. Molto comodo il letto ma non altrettanto i cuscini. La pulizia è da attenzionare, c’era della polvere sui mobili e sotto il letto. Staff molto cortese ed accogliente. Buona la prima colazione offerta.
