Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort and facilities rated lower — Guest scores for comfort and facilities sit at 7.5 each, notably below the overall 9.2, suggesting the room fittings and on-site amenities may feel dated or basic.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:00, so late arrivals may need to arrange a separate time with the property.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
  • Street or garden noise may vary — The apartment is on Via Baccina, a central street, so while it faces the garden, ambient noise from the surrounding area cannot be ruled out.
