Hotel Porta San Mamolo
Wow! What a disappointment. In a city with only one 5 star hotel, how on earth can this be 4 stars. I should have known based on the initial communication from the hotel on their recommendations. They told me to look online or Get Your Guide for tour/visit suggestions.... Don't let the charming court ...

Hotel Corona d'Oro
We enjoyed our stay here. The staff is amazing and went above and beyond to meet our needs. Our room was tiny but nice. The elevator was under repair while we weee there which meant climbing lots of stairs! The hotel is in a GREAT location to everything.
