This immensely pleasant 12-room hotel has well-appointed rooms with colorful Italian down comforters, floor heaters and TVs, plus a palpable sense of colonial style. Breakfast is served in the intimate Italian restaurant, which has lovely outdoor seating on the second-floor terrace. There's even a priceless patch of grass in the sunny back courtyard – rare in La Candelaria.
