The property was clean and everything about it was fresh and new. The owner, Luca, is really making an effort to furnish the B&B with brand new furniture and appliances. The rooms are a bit small by most American hotel standards, but having stayed in many hotels in Europe, the size compared quite favorably. Our room had a queen size bed, two bunk beds (ideal for families with 1-2 kids, like ours) and a very nice balcony outside. Everything was sharply decorated, new, and immaculately clean (and I have high standards). The bathroom was equally impressive and well-sized compared to other European hotels. We even had a small refrigerator in our room, which would have been ideal for a longer stay with a young child. Breakfast was very solid, if a bit unremarkable: nice selection of meats and pastries with coffee and tea. Luca himself was very friendly and helpful, even going so far as to arrange dinner reservations for us at a local restaurant (I Tre Farfalli, which we highly recommend). The hotel is close to both the port and the center of town, within easy walking distance of the Lungomare and Corso Garbaldi as well as the museums. There were several restaurants and gelaterias in the neighborhood, though none were open the day we were there (June 2, Italy's Republic Day, so a holiday). It was a quick ~12 minute cab ride to the airport the next morning. Overall it was a terrific find for he money.
