Visited Cascia for the Feast Day of St. Rita and this hotel was just the best. It's in the center of everything you'll find restaurants, gift shops and a few bars. We stood in room 444, and it had amazing views of the town & mountains. The beds were very comfortable, with no issues with the shower. Everything worked great. The AC was good, but I didn't really need it since it was a bit chilly at night. The staff was very nice and helped us with any questions about the town and with transportation back to Florence. Would come back and stay in the same room. I am definitely recommending it to family and friends.
