Centro Paolo VI
Everything was great! Excellent staff, very courteous. I had the pleasure to eat dinner in the on-site restaurant and everything was exceptional. The location is also conveniently close to the old center of town. The only downside, was that the room was a little cold the first night, maybe the heater ...
