I do not recommend this hotel. The location, views and pool are a are all fabulous. However, I'm sorry to say that's all I can say that was good about our experience at this hotel. My husband and the two other couples with whom we traveled were all very disappointed with our accommodations and experience here. One of the things that drew us to this hotel was the charm of the historic Italian design. While the building itself was interesting, we found the interior throughout was dull, outdated, and had offensive smells that were worsened by strong and constant bombardment of air fresheners that were always present in the common areas and rooms. The staff was reluctant to help, were generally unwelcoming and sometimes down right snooty. We did not feel welcome at any point during our stay. The restaurant had a decent "free" breakfast buffet. However, the food for lunch and dinner (non buffet) was boring, not fresh, tasteless and not what you'd expect it to be. As one example, my pasta with Bolognese sauce tasted suspiciously like Chef Boyardee from a can and the gnocchi was rubbery and bland.
