The sockets in the room could not be utilised so has to recharge phones and boil kettle in bathroom.
The panoramic rooftop view is breath-taking, however the restaurant is only open until the end of October. The breakfast is excellent, with lovely eggs, potato dishes and sliced aubergine, alongside the usual crispy bacon. There were also delicious cakes to choose from.. The room was very beautiful with ancient wooden shutters.

The price was bit too high for 3 star hotel and the level of the room we got, maybe because it was an italian holiday, but still.. The bed was not that comfortable, and it was 2 single beds just one next to other.
The hotel has excellent location just on the main street! Staff are super friendly and helpfull, room design is modern, breakfast is good and the rooftop view is very nice.
