    Amazing views! Nice location near Monte San Salvatore. Rooms were very big and clean. The hotel does need a little renovation but over a fantastic stay. Lunch on the terrace was good and loved the nightly live music at the bar.

    This place has such elegance, grace, class, and accommodation that I'm mind blown that this place isn't recognized more!!! Perhaps a hidden gem for the a listers because you'll see in their book all the celebrities who have been there. Live music,...
