Found bed bugs in the room and staff had not helped at all. Alternative room provided did not have enough beds and I had to sleep on the floor. After all I have been charged normally. Overall the dirtiest and unfair hotel I have ever been.

What a delightful surprise. This ancient Estate, with lovely gardens and surrounded by greenery was not what I expected from an “airport” hotel. Note: it is a 10 minute drive from the airport. Dinner at the restaurant was one of my top meals in Italy - delicious, and you can dine al fresco. I didn’t get to see all the spa facilities due to the shortness of my stay but it all sounded ideal for a weary traveller.
