and the smile of the lady owning the place. Serenity is the word here. Charming room indeed, there is everything in there. The owner would even sort of apologize that she did not figure out yet where the put ... small fridges in the rooms. So sweet. Everything was said about the location and the breakfast (if I may, though... More

We stayed there for one night and really enjoyed. The owner took her time to give us great advice on where to go out for dinner outside of the touristic places. Also a very good breakfast!

We stayed two nights in Caffe Dell'Arte. We found the rooms personal and cozy. Far away from standard impersonal hotel chains. Some rooms even have their own coffee machine. The personnel was friendly, service-minded and generous and the breakfast was really something extra. I will certainly come back to this hotel.

Really central - can walk anywhere easily - and parking is easy in the local car park (state... More
