Lonely Planet Review

The merry couple who run this homely pensione are a chatty pair but how much you understand will depend on your Italian - they don't speak any English. It doesn't matter, though, as they keep a lovely house. All the rooms are slightly different and even if they're small, they're nicely decorated with rustic furniture.

As you walk into the 4th-floor reception you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd walked into the owner's private living room. The beige carpet, low wood-beamed ceiling, framed prints and antique furniture give the impression of a well-to-do home where tea's taken at four and one dresses for dinner. Of the rooms, Nos 4 and 6 are particularly attractive with their original wood-beamed ceilings. The others are more modest with little overt decoration - walls are white and furniture is kept to a minimum. Most don't have en suites, but all have a sink and some have a shower; shared bathrooms are modern and clean. Breakfast costs extra, so you'd do better to nip down to a cafe and grab a cappuccino there.
