Grande Albergo Alfeo
The bathroom shower leaked all over the floor so we put a towel on the floor. The toilet push button was very finicky The rooms were dated The breakfast was very good Excellent location The staff were very helpful

Caportigia Boutique Hotel
Nothing standout, everything is expected as a four star place. However I was surprised breakfast is not included. It is $15 per person which is the only hotel in my trip that doesn’t provide free breakfast.

The location is great! Hotels stuff is helpful. The room is big, clean and has everything you need. The bed is very comfortable. However the air conditioner is VERY loud. The bathroom smelled like urine and the shower head didn’t work well. It seems like the holes in the shower head were all ...
