"I enjoyed the historic elegance of Relais Santa Croce, set in an 18th-century building that retains frescoed ceilings and hardwood floors; the spacious guestrooms each showcase different historic elements (from four-poster beds to exposed beams), and all have a desk, flatscreen TV, minibar and large bathrooms with a bidet, bathrobes and complimentary bath products, plus a varied free breakfast each morning." - Matthew Kepnes
