When we arrived, the extremely nice manager asked me why we were here. I took it as a more existential question, but she meant, why would we ever come to Citta' di Castello? Apparently this cute town has outlived its heyday, but this set of apartments, created out of the unused cells of a convent (only the parish priest still uses a room as it was built to be used), reflects the history and the importance of this city. The superior suites (we were upgraded) were large,(as was their kitchens) though sparsely decorated. And while there was no air conditioning, the manager gave us fans. It is also well-located for a multi-day exploration of the city's sights, which include the spectacular, though rarely visited, art museum and its Raphael and wealth of Signorelli paintings.
