Hotel Castello

A fairly basic and straightforward option which, despite its nondescript exterior, has surprisingly inviting and cosy public areas, even if they are rather small.

Situated in a quiet courtyard off a fairly busy area, it's reasonably close to the central sights, but you may need a map to find your way back at night.
