Cheap yet tasteful, Hotel Pignatelli sits pretty in a restored 15th-century house. Rooms are decorated in a rustic Renaissance style, with wrought-iron beds and bronze wall lamps; some rooms also have original wood-beamed ceilings. Breakfasts are simple and optional, costing an additional €3 per guest. Best of all, management is warm and hospitable.
