“This place is every bit as good as its rating suggests. The owners are very friendly, and breakfast is served in the room with milk and juice in a private fridge — handy for eating whenever you like. It's only a 3-minute walk to the station and 10 minutes at most to the Duomo. Plenty of restaurants nearby and a good supermarket across the street.”
