Rough Guide
"Originally a pilgrim hostel, this fourteenth-century building, reached via a stairway down from close to San Domenico church, offers great-value and remarkably peaceful accommodation."
Frommer's
"With a great perk, city-view balconies in many rooms. Breakfast is included, but it’s a bit monastic and you may want to walk up the hill and enjoy a cappuccino in the Campo." Full review
