Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
- Not central — Located in the Novoli – San Donato district, about a 10-minute drive from the Duomo area, so it's less walkable to main sights.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
- Breakfast not included in all reviews — While in-room breakfast is available, it's unclear if it's included in the rate; some reviews mention breakfast at the bar, possibly at extra cost.
