“This beautiful new property is built into a medieval palace that incorporates part of the 2nd-century Roman wall. The blend of modern additions within the ancient structure is visually fascinating, and the hotel is elegant and comfortable.”

“Excellent, friendly, and competent staff. This relatively new hotel (opened in September 2012) is magnificent, right in the Gothic district. Rooms are not huge but very cosy. Parking is about 200 metres away, and everything is within walking distance. Great food in both the restaurant and tapas bar. We will definitely return.”
