The hotel offers rooms with fantastic facilities and a copper bath in the bedroom, but the lack of soundproofed windows can be a downside. The service was impeccable with great housekeeping. The location is good, especially for those interested in dedicated vegetarian restaurants. The dining experience was delightful with Sicilian pastries available. The facilities are impressive overall.
