Palazzo Brunaccini Boutique Hotel

Palazzo Brunaccini Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I visited this property during the off season. The property exceeded my expectations. I was given two rooms that adjoined via a staircase. The rooms were a ground floor and 2nd level. The room was clean, modern, comfortable, and the staff was attentive. The hotel offered laundry services and is very close the the main road that is pedestrian only and near the area where most restaurants and shopping are located. The hotel is in a very safe and walkable neighborhood. My stay here was very relaxing and the experience at this hotel was charming. It truly felt like a home away from home. I would definitely re-book at this hotel again. "
