If I could give this place six stars I would. Let’s start with the incredibly charming and professional staff led by the amazing Graziana! I’ve stayed at hotels from Saudi to Singapore and I’ve never encountered a more professional and caring GM than Graziana. She arranged rental cars, reservations, trains and buses and served not just as a concierge but as a genuine guide to this lovely part of Italy. She sets the gold standard for professional service. Bravissima! The hotel is well located and the breakfast is worth having included. Loved it. Actually extended our stay a few days. Spectacular.
