Liked: Cleanliness
The property is extremely well appointed from a design standpoint, but there is a serious lack of sufficient staffing to operate at the standards of a five star hotel. There is no one around in the evening except one person at the front desk who is trying to check in latecomers, order taxis, make dinner reservations and deliver room service. The bar was closed and there is no restaurant other than at breakfast. Room service is a bar type menu, I cannot quite fathom how you can design such a beautiful hotel and not staff it properly. Plus the parking is very tricky, and the streets surrounding the hotel are high traffic, busy streets with buses and trams. The neighborhood is not that far from the center but the walk is quite unattractive. It is, however, close to the train station, so that is a positive if you are arriving by train. I drove. I would consider staying again only when they finish the spa, restaurant and bar. In the meantime, one should prepare to seek out these facilities elsewhere. A positive recommendation goes to Klaudija and Matteo. They did their best to help me…

Hmmmm
A beautiful hotel that lacks an atmosphere. Lovely room but the linen needs a serious makeover; it was not a 5* linen!! The room needs a coffee machine as at £300 a night and being offered coffee in the morning, was not expecting a €30 bill for a simple drink!!! A rip off! And

Pretty property but the location is very loud and inconveniently located. The staff was very kind and efficient but I arrived around 7:00pm at the end of a very long drive to find that the kitchen was closed and there were no reservations to be had nearby. Settled for a pizza from the closest place, an hour round trip when you added waiting for the pizza. I resigned myself to a long bath instead only to find that the jets did not function. Not exactly the 5 star experience I was anticipating on my last night in Italy.
