Raising the style stakes is this boutique hotel, housed in an 18th-century locanda (inn) built for Count Mameli. A wrought-iron balustrade twists up to chic caramel-cream rooms with Orosei marble bathrooms. The vaulted breakfast room has a pair of unique treasures: an original Roman well and a 1960s-vintage Lambretta motorcycle.
