Cicerone Guest House

The Cicerone guest house was ok, but you get what you pay for. The location was decent - it is a short walk from the center. It’s only a 8-10 minute walk from S.M.N. Train station which was nice, but I would stay somewhere closer to the center next time. The room itself is the size of a hotel room with a tiny tiny bathroom. The beds weren’t the comfiest so it was kind of hard to fall asleep/stay asleep. The air conditioning works VERY well which made up for other things. The breakfast hours were 8 am-10 am and Nina made us very good cappuccinos. The food provided was ok. There were some pastries, meat and cheese, bread, butter, biscotti, yogurt, jams, cereal, etc. There was a panini press!!! (bread + ham and cheese + butter = SO GOOD) Overall, it was just ok, but you’re on vacation so if you’re not staying in the room all day, you’ll be fine.

Getting up to the guest house requires walking up two flights of steps, so if you can’t do steps, it’s not ideal, but it’s not too bad if you don’t have a lot of luggage with you. We did not have hot water in the shower at all.
