“Antica Casa Zucchini, set in a noble palace from the 1400s, immediately impressed me with its uniquely historical atmosphere. The family's personal management seems to make this B&B more than just a place to stay, but a conduit to the city's charm. I especially appreciate the option of Italian language classes and breakfast at a 17th-century table-distinctive touches that set it apart.”
