Romantic Getaway in a Historic Palazzo

Our room had lime plastered walls that felt unique alongside high ceilings. The shower was fantastic and the bed provided comfort beyond expectation after a long day.
The area felt a little unsafe at night due to its seedy location.

mixed feelings about this hotel

street noise poor soundproofing
The noise was a real issue. i was disturbed by street noise at night! and then early in the morning, i could hear every little sound from the breakfast room. i really needed better soundproofing. The lack of it impacted my sleep quite a bit.
