Beatrice was extraordinarily generous and welcoming, and a delight to talk with! The breakfasts were absolutely delicious, with a wonderful variety of fruits and vegetables, and she went out of her way to be accommodating when she learned I didn't eat meat. The room was very pleasant and light (with a private bathroom), and the elevator worked perfectly. Beatrice has very high standards of Italian hospitality which made for a warm and friendly feeling among her guests. Her English is superb, but she was kind enough to speak Italian with me, though my Italian is very halting, and let me get some practice!
