    Such a lovely property, lots of interesting little nooks and crannies. No 2 rooms alike I am sure. You could feel the history but yet it was fully modern in terms of facilities, comfort, etc

    Very nice welcome. It is nice to feel that this B&B has been run by the same family for many years. The rroms were very spacious, one of them was very nicely decorated with a strong Italian feel. Breakfast was great, very homely.
