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.

the breakfast on the top floor was lovely. it had views of the rooftops. i loved the sitting room and it's frescoes on the wall i see lots of photography books.
our bathroom was not cleaned properly i think. it was smelling horribly like pee. i arrived late and stayed only one night, so i did not ask to change the room. i told them when i checked out but they didn't do nothing about it.

mixed feelings about this hotel

street noisepoor 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.
