Emerald Palace

The property as easy to find and has a great location, so close to everything. We were able to walk everywhere and still be within a 15 to 20 minute walk back to the B&B. If you’re not too picky about sleeping then this is a good place.

On our booking confirmation, it says we reserved a double room. In the past, this has meant a double bed but we stayed in a room with three twin beds instead. Not really an issue but I would have liked a double bed. I did not want to bring this up to the staff because they seemed upset that I didn’t speak Italian well. I have only lived in Italy for a few months and have not finished my classes, so my Italian is not good yet. We also were not provided with towels (except for a floor mat towel), which was strange because in every B&B I’ve stayed at they provide towels and toiletries. Thankfully I brought a towel and toiletries with us. The air conditioner did not work. It was not really an issue for us, just maybe for future reference, someone else might want to use it. It was a cool night thankfully so we didn’t need it. Another issue that came up was that the shower seemed a bit clogged up. Luckily we both take quick showers so it didn’t bother us much. The one thing that made me decide we cannot stay here again was that even with the window and shudders closed, it was as if our window was wide open. We could hear everyone on the street outside, especially at night when trying to sleep and loud drunk people passed by or when the street sweeper cleaned nearby. Then when it finally quieted down outside I realized I could hear snoring through the walls because the walls were so thin. This isn’t their fault, probably just an old building, but nonetheless we have decided we can’t stay here again.
