La Cisterna
The room was spacious and the hotel is in a great location right in the middle of town. The balcony looked out over the town and landscape. It could not have been prettier. Also the staff was very friendly.

Hotel Chiusarelli
The hotel was just outside of the town, so the location was good. It was a beautiful property. The breakfast was good. Just be prepared to walk stairs. No lifts. But overall, good.

Borgo Vescine
You are paying for the view!!!! This hotel was not worth the money spent in my opinion. The hotel staff was not very accommodating, though the restaurant staff was lovely. We had to bring our luggage up to our room and back down during check in and check out — no one even offered and trust me it ...
