"I felt like I was staying in a palace at this five-star hotel set in a 15th-century building, with elegant, spacious rooms featuring wood‑beamed ceilings, parquet or terracotta floors, glass chandeliers, antique furnishings and plush beds with gilded headboards, plus the usual high-end amenities and a complimentary breakfast buffet served in a frescoed room that used to host Italy’s parliament." - Matthew Kepnes
