This was a gorgeous hotel, with the two level sun deck being a particularly lovely spot. Our room was beautifully decorated, relaxing, peaceful and calm (apart from animated voices on the street at night - all part of the experience!) and we had a beautiful bathroom almost the same size as the bedroom.

We stayed for 2 nights in early January. The building is all crisp white and charming little terraces abound. The welcome was very friendly and helpful. However, we were staying in one of the sea facing rooms, which are so small that you can hardly walk/stand around the bed (vaulted ceilings). So much so that we couldnt stand to be... More

We extended our trip to Italy for a wedding and stayed at the Don Ferrante for two nights - it was simply amazing. The hotel is located within the walls of the old city, which is a treat in and of itself. The staff provided fantastic service, directing us to a wonderful set of restaurants and shopping well within comfortable... More
