Located directly across the exit to the Basilica di San Vitale, you can access both the Basilica and the Mausoleum di Galla Placidia from the entrance around the corner about a block away. Our room was beautiful and spacious, with a view of the courtyard. Small blue, mosaic-sized tiles brightened the large bathroom to resemble a starlit evening sky. The spa-like shower with a rain showerhead could fit 2 people at the same time. The air conditioning kept the room very comfortable, and unlike some hotels in Emilia-Romagna, was turned on in May. On the top floor there is an enormous library/living area where you can sample digestifs provided for all the guests. Coffee and tea are available all day in the foyer. Since we did not purchase the daily breakfast, the hotel recommended a pasticceria a few blocks away that had the best coffee and cornetti. In fact other cultural sites of Ravenna are within walking distance including Dante’s tomb, and Basilica di Sant' Apollinare Nuovo. We only stayed here 2 days, but wish we had stayed longer. Ravenna has much to offer, and this hotel is wonderful.
