United Kingdom“Amazing , a bit of stairs to reach at the top but it’s totally worth it . Had a very nice time” - Samantha United Kingdom“AMAZING hotel. Amazing staff, facilities, view like something out of a fairy tale. Not as friendly at the bar didn’t feel overly welcome which was tough as a solo traveller. Maybe I should have spoken more Italian though :) ( English girl here)...”
