I adore this hotel; it lives up to all my fantasies.It has traditional, old-fashioned rooms in a former palace, with luxury touches like a spacious, windowed marble bathroom with a huge bathtub, bidet, and super-fluffy towels. Charming terraces, beautiful breakfast room, and cosy interior bar and television lounge (besides the TV in each room); excellent staff; great location amply compensate for the many maany stairs (no elevator).
