Country-style contemporary decor marries with lovingly restored vintage inside this 14th-century palazzo, named after the 'hood in which it slumbers and squirrelling away a handful of luxurious, serviced apartments. Complimentary tea and coffee is available in the lounge; longer stays enjoy clean laundry and housekeeping every three days; there is a communal washing machine and – best of all – a serene secret garden.
