An arrival with a bang…
We stayed at this hotel on August 18. Welcomed on arrival by a terrifying thunderclap that did not bode well, we were instead pleasantly surprised by this property, which exceeded our expectations! Cozy and clean room, comfortable beds, extremely kind staff and an outstanding breakfast. Greetings from Sardinia.

Trip to Cascia
I went there with my family to visit the Sanctuary of Saint Rita. Perfect welcome, professional staff attentive to every detail, excellent cleanliness, great and plentiful breakfast. As my wife uses a wheelchair, I noticed a great level of care and availability towards people with disabilities. Highly recommended.

A night fit for a king
We stayed just one night in this wonderful historic residence, in a central and strategic location. The entrance is already a calling card, with modern works of art alongside antique furniture and books. The room, with frescoes on the ceiling and a spacious bathroom, allowed us to unwind, and waking up was even sweeter thanks to a very rich breakfast. All of this while being pampered by the entire staff.
