Luxury and history are intertwined in this hotel.
This is a beautiful hotel in a historic location with impeccable service. Everything is spotless and high end. We loved the pool and enjoyed the well appointed gym. You walk out of the peaceful hotel and are immediately in the midst of the scenic and lively historic city that was wonderful to explore. We’d return to our spotless hotel and sleep without hearing a sound from the outside world. This is true luxury.

Exceptional Stay
Absolute perfection from start to finish! We only stayed 2 nights, and I didn't want to leave. We arrived very early in the morning, and the check in process was quick and smooth. We had sumptuous breakfasts with the most perfect croissants outside of Paris. Delicious espresso drinks too. We received an early check in and upgrade to a suite with a water view (thanks Amex Platinum card!) The room was beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed the balcony, huge walk in shower, and robes and slippers. The pool area was lovely and they make their Aperol spritzes with real champagne! Exceptional service at every stage, even when leaving for a 5:30 am excursion. I would love to return.
