10/10 Exceptional

It has been a few years since i last stayed at the Palazzo. Was previously under different management and a great place to stay. Now has new ownership and if it is possible, it is even better than before. Super comfortable, clean, modern and warm. Manager is super friendly too. I have no hesitation in recommending the Palazzo to other travelers.
