Art Hotel Orologio

10/10 Excellent
"Room was spotless, with a beautiful view of a small plaza and a partial view of Piazza Maggiore. We stayed for one night only, but would definitely come back! Room was charming and perfect in size for two people. It even had a little sitting/dining area. Sheets were crisp, mattress and pillows comfy. An ample breakfast in a beautiful historic room. Polite staff. Overall a great experience from the get go! "
