Our taxi driver dropped us off outside of town center, but we were able to find the hotel since the City is small. Fortunately we had our previous hotel call to let them know we were arriving or we wouldn't have had the code to get our key. We opened the front door to find a steep set of stone stairs going straight up. We closed the door and were in pitch black. We felt around in the dark to try and open the door again and then found a light switch. The door is the first on the left, and after struggling up with our suitcase, the lights went out and we were in the pitch black again. Trying not to panic, we found a light switch and were able to get in the suite.
The set up is a shared common room and 3 bedrooms. Not knowing Italian, we had to figure out which room was ours since there is nobody on site to help. The rooms all have a color outside in a frame. The keys only have words on them. We figured out that ours was lilac. Would have been easier to have the color on the keys to match the room rather than words. Typical of everywhere we have stayed, 3 keys....front door, suite door and bedroom door.
Our room was cute, with a nice size bed, and a large bathroom. The bathroom was very cool with great stonework. Our biggest concern was to not drop anything down the sink drain as there was no stopper.
Breakfast was served the next morning and was a typical breakfast of coffee, pastry, and fruit. We had asked them to get a taxi for us and it came in a timely manner. read more
