we stayed here for a few days before our cruise leaving out if ravenna. this was our first time in italy and this hotel and its location is exactly how i pictured italy. it’s a boutique hotel, on a cobblestone street. the rooms are a decent size and the staff was very helpful from the time that i booked (answering email questions for me, booking & confirming our transfer to the cruise ahead of arrival). the location is great. there’s plenty of things to see and do within walking distance. i would recommend and would stay here again.

Lovely hotel, great location

A really nice hotel in a great location for sightseeing. The room we had was very comfortable and well sized for us with a water machine on our floor which did not or cold water. Breakfast was really nice with a good selection and the staff were all really helpful. The hotel is literally a minute from the main square and plenty of restaurants. I would certainly stay here again and the hotel donates money to charity for each night you stay which is nice

Overall nice stay. I went out for a cigarette in the morning one day and there was a used needle and syringe on the outside window sill of the hotel. I informed the hotel team and they dealt with it professionally and immediately. The room was nice and I felt safe as a solo traveller

We loved this property and plan on staying here in the future. We originally booked a hotel room but after staying in an apartment in the previous city, we quickly realized we wanted more space. The hotel staff were able to accommodate our request and move us to the apartment complex next door for reasonable fee. The apartment was spacious and the amenities were perfect. The location is incredibly convenient to the city center as there are many restaurants and shops within walking distance. The staff is amazing and kind, we definitely plan on returning.
