Our group of six adults (three couples) stayed with Carola and Lorenzo for just over a week. We loved it. The family was in residence, and we felt like very welcome distant cousins. Keeping in mind that I value uniqueness, history and beauty more than modern “luxury”, this house was one of our all time favorites. We chose to breakfast at the nearby convent daily and it was a tasty, good value. Our rooms were pretty, spartan and comfortable. We had many interesting bathroom options. We didn’t at all mind climbing 2.5 flights of stairs to our suites because of the views, mountain breezes and privacy. The long hall of bedrooms made us feel like we were having a great adult slumber party. Being hundreds of years old, the house is certainly quirky, and in some small details capricious, which made us love it more. It is filled with art. Washing clothes was easy, with a convenient place to hang to dry. The surrounding landscape is lovely! But really, the hosts were the best. We all would highly recommend this history-laden palazzo.
