Bamboo parquet floors and Vietnamese furnishings set the tone in this 1903 residence-turned-B&B with four romantic rooms. Tropical tones inform the decor, with Vietnamese textiles throughout. Downstairs, the Paris-born Vietnamese owner offers an equally welcoming Vietnamese restaurant. You'd never know you were in Italy.
