팔라초 레오폴도 디모라 스토리카 & 스파

Undoubtedly the least enjoyably place we stayed on our honeymoon. Upon arrival, the staff was friendly, but that was where our positive experience stopped. The hotel is spread across 3 separate buildings, and there are no elevators, so good luck with your bags. Our first night I was up till 2AM because our air conditioner was broken. The front desk said they would look for a fan, and took almost 2 hours to find one. The next morning I see several fans in the lobby that were on the reception staff. The reception staff for the morning was rude and not hospitable to work with. Also they did not change our towels out as my wife’s freshly folded towel was indeed the one from the day before. This hotel advertises amenities that are not on site, and they do not have shuttles to transport you to their sister hotels. They tried to save the day by “upgrading” our room because they could not fix the air, and we thought this was a nice gesture. Except that we had to repack everything and move our own bags back down the flight of steep stairs and across the village to the other building. We were so happy with the new room, until the evening came. The room is right next to a bar that stays open until 2-3AM and blasts club music that shakes the room. You will not get any sleep here. Honestly for 420€ a night, you’d be better off sleeping under a bridge. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

There is a lot to like here with some quirks that are to be expected in such an old building. We had a 2-room suite that was clean and quite large, though on the quirky side, the bathroom was quite small. However the shower had a fantastic rain overhead spray with great water pressure. The bathroom also had a towel warmer though it wasn’t working. The highlight of our room was the enormous private terrace overlooking the valley. Beds & pillows were comfortable enough and the linens and towels were high quality. On the quirky side—the AC unit threw off enough light that it kept the room from being dark at night which did inhibit a really great night’s sleep. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The spa was mediocre—overbooked, noisy and not relaxing at all. Definitely wouldn’t go back to the spa, but we’d definitely ok a hotel stay again.
