The view from the balcony is breathtaking. I can see the monuments on one side and the Tuscany hills on the other. The view of the piazza under is very nice with trees and a water fountain.
I can just stay there all day if I can take the noise. The peak time of noise is from 5 PM to past midnight, well, up to 3:30 AM during my 5 night stay, Monday to Saturday. Closing the doors can reduce the noise but, then, I lose the balcony and the view. The morning starts around 6 when the garbage truck comes. Next, the vendors’ trucks roll in to set up the stands and tents. The rest of the day is lovely. The evening starts around 5. The noise builds up quickly. From the balcony, I feel the noise coming up is like the background noise in any sport event.
I think the price reflects the pros and cons.
