“Hidden in a shuttered former convent, this first-rate yet reasonably priced hotel is a real find. It emerged from a total renovation in April 2005, oozing understated Deco-style luxury. Rooms come with monochromatic colour schemes, Irish bed-linen, well-sprung mattresses and huge fluffy towels. A high point is the welcome from wonderful head concierge Aldo Basso Bandini, in charge for 30 years.”
