The gym is well appointed but ran a little warm - we mentioned this on checkout the staff were very grateful for the feedback so they could make adjustments. The room was of a very good size (especially for Europe!) with a really comfortable bed - everything is brand new, so no issues with anything. The entire hotel is decorated very tastefully, sort of a modern old Italy vibe. Breakfast buffet was huge! Great options from pastries to hot options to freshly sliced meats and freshly pressed juices. The only other issue we had was that our devices were dropped off wifi very quickly after a short period (like 5minutes) of non-active use, but this is truly the only issue we had. The restaurant is known for its gourmet pizzas, but I'm vegetarian so maybe I didn't get to try the best ones - I thought a nice local place they recommended had the better pizzas (Divino 13). We didn't need a reservation to eat at the hotel restaurant when we went in early May, but I would make reservations for dinner for June - another highly recommended restaurant that we didn't get to check out because it was booked was Il Ristorante de Paolo. Would 100% stay here again!
