Hidden away on the 2nd floor of a historic, centrally located palazzo, Re Vittorio harbours stylish, modern rooms with high ceilings and a muted colour scheme of white, grey and charcoal. Beds are comfy, and the small, contemporary bathrooms come with decent water pressure. The breakfast buffet is also notable, with fresh breads, yoghurt, fruit, cakes, cheeses, charcuterie and a variety of non-dairy milk alternatives.
