Concierge
"Good-value accommodation has always been a problem in Italy's most ostentatiously wealthy city... Which is why this upmarket guesthouse... is often booked solid."
Lonely Planet
"What it does have is lots of character in its 14 individually decorated, flower-filled rooms." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"The fact that this guest house near Cairoli castle is so bereft of signs or lights outside the 18th-century building can be taken as evidence of a different approach to accommodations." Full review
