Unique Hotel
It is a very special hotel. Very unique you will never stay in such a place with so much history and so well kept. If you’re a bit of a claustrophobic, I would suggest you to take a Palazzo room rather than a cave room.

Great property and staff. Would suggest having some type of basic sundries and a mirror in bathroom with lights, tough to see when shaving or wife doing hair etc. Breakfast is amazing, location is perfect in the Sassi. Highly recommend!

Rustic cave hotel that is one of a kind. Hotel Room floors are extremely uneven. Room are extremely dark and hard to see. Doors had lots of wholes and not private. Bathrooms need additional sink and better mirrors.
