A lovely small hotel where smart modern furniture and slick bathrooms make the most of an ancient palazzo's original architecture and its knockout lofty ceilings, lovingly restored plaster mouldings and beautiful tilework. Owners are hands-on and helpful; breakfast is taken in the beautiful rooftop space at neighbouring Palazzo Grillo.
