“The location near the train station makes this a practical choice in a busy city, but the rooftop pool-with its Duomo view- elevates it beyond mere convenience. I found the service genuinely attentive, particularly the staff's care in handling a guest's lost phone situation, reflecting a level of dedication that stands out. It would be a pleasure to stay there.”
