Whether you’re here for the ancient monuments, the gorgeous views, or the delicious cuisine, this place has got you covered, situated within easy reach of many of the city’s major attractions.

Back at home, you’ll have everything you need to relax in style, not least a fully furnished terrace which is perfect for early morning coffees or evening drinks with your fellow guests. Come home from a day of sightseeing and unwind in the charming living room, where an impressive collection of antique furniture will make you feel as though you’ve taken a step back in time.
