THEY SAY: The great doors to each chamber usher you into spaces that it would be unjust to describe as mere rooms. From the suites to the "simple" single rooms, each one is different, with frescoed vaulted ceilings or coffered wooden beams, terracotta floors, prints and paintings of acknowledged value, and splendid period furniture. How can anyone fail to be thrilled on entering the magnificent San Cristoforo suite with its precious authentic 15th-century fresco, the tower suite on two levels with bijou panoramic studio, or the delightful octagonal room with four-poster bed, the ideal love nest for newlyweds? The utmost care is lavished on each and every detail, from the precious marble of the bathrooms to the latest technology for contact with the rest of the world, all in flawless harmony to ensure that each guest's stay is more than perfect.
