Wow! First, this is an outstanding and amazing, historical property full of frescos and artwork, it takes your breath on entry and has artworks and surprises everywhere. Every room/suite is unique and ours was stunning. The standards are very high and the staff deserve full mention, they are friendly and welcoming, informative and proud. We loved the breakfasts and the girls in the kitchen were just fabulous. The port antico is great for relaxing dinning and drinks. The elephant in the room though is the area just behind and around the hotel. This is a major working European city, diverse and multi-cultured. If you want a tourist resort then avoid this port city. We however loved its vibrancy and diversity.
