A relative newcomer in a renovated historic building that offers six well-appointed rooms and suites scross the street from Basilica di San Vitale. It's both ultra-modern (internal glass elevator, RFID entry) and dripping in period detail (vaulted stone ceilings supported by rustic timber, fantastic hardwood flooring) with bonuses such as an internal patio and complimentary wet bar. Hands-off staff.
