charming palazzo stay!

decorated ceilings comfortable bed freshly croissants
I seemed like royalty in a 17th-century palazzo. my room had high, decorated ceilings plus gorgeous french doors. the bed was very comfortable. I slept soundly. the staff was so cute! the breakfast included delicious, freshly cooked croissants.
My room faced the street and it was quite noisy at night. plus, the shower pressure was very weak. It was barely a trickle.

narrow beds missing shelves
The room was clean enough, I guess, but quite small. There was only one chair for the two of us staying in the Double or Twin Room. The beds felt too narrow for comfort, and the wardrobe lacked shelves. It just wasn't the relaxing experience I had hoped for, and it left me a bit deflated after a long day of travel.
