Hallways are wide, ceilings are high and rooms are generously proportioned at this hotel that's been in the same family since 1854. Basic rooms are good value, but consider paying extra for a classic or comfort room – the floor boards and stucco ceilings add a lot of charm. Opposite the Porta Nuova train station.
