A wonderful location steps from the Quattro Canti puts this much-redone yet still grand palazzo within easy reach of most sights. Public rooms, including a vast frescoed salon where breakfast is served, evoke the 1890s Belle Epoque when the 17th-century palazzo was first converted to a hotel. The good-size guest rooms are comfortably functional, with luxe touches like rich fabrics and mosaic-tiled bathrooms; double-pane windows in the front rooms keep the street noise at bay. A rooftop terrace with an airy dining room is a retreat from the city below, with views extending to Monte Pellegrino. It’s a great spot for cocktails on a warm summer night.
