I had a lovely stay at Hotel Il Guercino. the quirky decor truly made it unique. The breakfast was a highlight, with a great variety of options to start the day. My room was comfortable, though a bit small for my taste. It's conveniently located just a short walk from the train station and about 15 minutes from the city center. I would definitely consider returning.

I found Hotel Il Guercino to be a charming spot, with its eclectic decor and welcoming ambiance. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially at breakfast. However, the thin walls were a significant drawback, making it hard to enjoy some peace at times. Breakfast could use improvement too, as I found it adequate but not particularly impressive, considering the region's culinary reputation.
