Frommer's Highly Recommended

Located in the heart of the historical center, this small hotel is housed in a19th-century Italian Art Nouveau palace that belonged to a marquis. Behind the gates you'll discover a harbor of peace and luxury from the city's noise and grit. Public spaces have kept the charm of a private palatial home, from the living room with fireplace to the private courtyard with palm trees, chaise longues, and a bean-shaped swimming pool (delightfully refreshing in the summer months). Some guest rooms open onto the terrace where breakfast is served in fair weather, and others have private balconies. All are medium size and individually decorated with modern furnishings and hardwood floors or hand-painted tiles. Suites have Jacuzzi tubs. Room service shows excellent attention to detail, with homemade liquors and ice cream and a fabulous breakfast.
