the SERVICE fell short of expectations for a 5-star hotel. upon arrival , no one assisted with luggage from the taxi. i carried my own bags to the taxi at departure , despite completing checkout the previous evening , and NO assistance was offered from the reception DESK. furthermore , the breakfast lacked variety , and a la carte portions were TOO small.

The staff were cute and helpful! marinella, riccardo, and luca were very professional and friendly. they greeted and welcomed me each time i saw them. the room was immaculate and very comfortable. it was light, airy, and very spacious. A very cute atmosphere. the room was also well equipped with all essentials and a well-thought-out design and amenities.
the hotel needs to ensure a porter is always available at the entrance. i had to manage my luggage alone to the taxi upon departure. a hotel of this standard should offer assistance without prompting.

The rooms were small, and the bathroom felt cramped. There wasn't a coffee machine in the room I was in. I had no iron, so my clothes were wrinkled.
