Hotel Ideale

best breakfast I've had in Italy during the first three weeks of this visit great service by the elderly man who staffed the breakfast room great view from the terrace behind the hotel free parking

this hotel has severe plumbing problems, including a water pressure issue in which water doesn't come out at all, then gushes out getting everything wet. This applies to the sink and the shower. There is also a very annoying problem involving the toilets (others told me they were experiencing the same thing) in which it seemed as though anytime a toilet flushed anywhere in the building, it created a sound like a minor explosion in other bathrooms. This went on all through the night, so for light sleepers, this is not the place to book. the other disturbing thing was how rudely I was "welcomed" into the hotel by the person who checked me in (the morning person in the reception). After having had such great experiences with hotel reception staffs elsewhere, this was shocking to me. there is no lift (elevator) so one has to schlepp one's bags up one or two flights on a curving staircase.
