To all those grummpys out there. This hotel was a lovely old fashioned quietly run family business, with excellent staff who looked after us wonderfully for 6 nights in May this year. The rooms overlooking the old town were large with cool tiled floors and a large bathroom. Ok some bulbs needed to be replaced, we had to tell them... More

I ate here as part of a Seven Cities tour with Newmarket; for some reason we were allocated rooms at the sister hotel Astra next door, but no food was served there. We ate in a cavernous basement dining room, which functioned well on occasions, but sometimes was totally chaotic, with screaming over stressed staff; not what you expect on... More

Food quality was extremely poor. I have never eaten such cheap food. Tinned carrots, tinned peas and instant mashed potato is not what we expected from a so called 4 star hotel. We stayed here with Newmarket Holidays 7 cities tour and were very disappointed with the hotel. No shower curtain or even a rail to hang the shower head... More

STayed here for the last 4 days of a week long trip with Newmarket (7 CITIES TOUR). Hotel looked quite nice from outside and the communal areas, but disapointing beyond this. Food was dreadful especially the Tuscan soup where you had to eat it with a knife and fork if you dared!. Restaurant was in the basement and rarely opened... More

Recently stayed in this hotel as part of 7 cities tour with Newmarket. The hotel was clean and comfy. Food was typical Italian style - not to every bodies taste but we enjoyed it - especially the typical tuscan meal - the soup was gorgeous! Our room was fine, had fridge and balcony. I thought the air conditioning did all... More
