Frommer's Review

Converted from a family villa in the 1850s, this hotel has hosted Garibaldi, Verdi, and Liz Taylor on relaxing escapes. The rooms are well sized if bland, but they're comfortable, have thermal bathwater on tap, and come with robes and shifts for descending into the grottoes. A few accommodations downstairs have frescoed ceilings, and some on the third floor have balconies, but steer clear of the boring modern rooms in the new wing. The ceiling frescoes are repeated in the sunny breakfast rooms and in the vaulted lounges off the lobby. They also have a 42-hectare (104-acre) forest with a fitness path. The hotel's Spa and Wellness Center offers many therapeutic treatments.

Facilities:Restaurant; frescoed lounges; small bar; outdoor pool; driving range on grounds or nearby golf course; outdoor tennis court; exercise room; health spa; natural sauna; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; courtesy shuttle to train station; business center and secretarial services; salon; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
