We were pleasantly surprised by the room's quality and size. The hotel is situated on a busy junction with traffic lights which means there can be a lot of traffic noise particularly early morning. It's the trucks and buses pulling away which create the rumbling vibrations. There was no parking on site but the receptionist is well versed in directing you to local parking spaces. You need to park around the corner outside some shops till 6 pm or so when the commuters move away. Then you can park for free in a side road across the street. You can stop outside for unloading. The main attraction is the Basilica within walking distance. The town centre is pedestrianised and has a number of al fresco bars and coffee shops. An attractive, vibrant place. For eating we can definitely recommend a local trattoria. Turn right out of the hotel, 1st right and walk to the bottom of the slope. Diagonally right is a collonade where the restaurant is. We had a set meal of 3 excellent fish dishes for around 30 euros. Breakfast was OK but nothing spectacular. All in all a good hotel.
