serene historical gem

beautiful courtyard separate bedrooms helpful staff

the hotel grounds were beautiful i especially enjoyed the courtyard and the different relaxation areas both inside and outside i found the atmosphere very peaceful. the two-bedroom suite worked well for my family it included separate bedrooms and bathrooms a detail that added much convenience. the staff was very helpful and kind throughout my stay they really enhanced my experience.

i noticed there were no mirrors in the bedrooms this was a minor issue when getting ready it required some adjustment to our routine.

delicious restaurant private parking convenient access

The location was perfect for exploring. the bistronomique restaurant impressed me with its delicious offerings. i especially liked the private parking. It was convenient. i found peace of mind, with easy access to my vehicle whenever i needed it!

the room's minimalist decoration felt a bit too stark for my taste, though it was super clean.

I loved the ample green space and the fabulous lap-pool. Breakfast in the converted cloister was delicious! The hotel location is excellent for visiting the Roman ruins and the basilica.

The teacups weren't washed during my three-night stay. I expected more generous service for such an expensive hotel.
