Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities are on the basic side — The Facilities rating of 7.5 is the lowest category, reflecting that this is a simple B&B rather than a full-service hotel.
- TV channels are limited — One reviewer noted the TV offers Italian channels only, which may matter if you want English-language programming.
- Check-out is early — Check-out is between 09:00 and 10:00, which could feel rushed if you prefer a leisurely morning.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this property is not an option.
