I stayed here a few years ago, but was not active on Tripadvisor then. All I can say is that in terms of design, service and setting, this place cannot be faulted. There was no breakfast when I stayed, but the wonderful personal touches and informative staff more than made up for this. Shame I was there on business. I... More

I stayed here for two night with my family (in 2 seperate rooms). My brother, sister and I shared one of the rooms with a loft on the ground floor, which was amazing. It felt like we had our own apartment - and the bathroom was HUGE - the biggest and nicest of any of the hotels we stayed at... More

Never have we been treated as well as we were at Il Convento. The hotel itself is beautiful, small enough to be intimate without giving anything away in terms of amenities. The room was typically Italian in size but made extremely comfortable through interesting decor and a multitude of high quality natural linens. The staff though were what made it,... More

We booked this on a whim (without our normal research) and after booking I was a little nervous about what we might find. I need not have worried as everything was fantastic from the moment we set foot through the door. The hotel is very unassuming from the front but lovingly decorated and slightly contemporary whilst retaining remnants of its... More

We chose this small 10 bedroom hotel because of the good reviews on Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. It is an unusual hotel that is full of character. It was once a convent and still has some of the original frescoes. Our room (no.56) was on the first floor facing the courtyard. It was classified as a superior room.... More

From the narrow street outside, the place does not stand out much. However, on the inside the building is tastefully decorated, clean and cosy. Between the decor and the small team of very good staff, the place has its fair share of personality. Our room was simple but clean and well decorated and in the shortened daylight hours of November... More

I have been staying at this hotel on business in 2009 and 2010, when things went smooth and the experience was lovely. A room was around 200-230 euros for single usage. Trying to book for the same trade fair again for 2012, I was told via email that the room rate would now be 340 euros per night. I checked... More

We had such a nice stay here. Location wise its great, not in the thick of it all but close enough and giving you plenty of opportunity to take a different route back each time through the little streets, accidentally stumbling past the amazing gelaterias and trattorias near by. The hotel is gorgeous, so tastefully restored and with a little... More

This will always be held as one of our most memorable stays in Italy. The suite was so unusually designed and artistic - much like the city of music where it is located. The staff was so accommodating and despite how crazy the Orfeo location is (the street never really stops with fast traffic), we did manage to get our... More

Our arrival started off by the hotel manager rushing out to our taxi to assist us with our luggage even though we hadn't even informed them what time we were arriving!This set the scene for the whole weekend. He booked us into 3 excellent restaurants that he recommended, slightly off the tourist trail plus also helped us plan our 2... More
