Mother-daughter weekend trip. Beautiful small boutique hotel with clean modern furnishings nd wonderful staff. Room was spacious with high quality toiletries. Free water in the room was missed but there was a pitcher with water and free cantucci cookies at all times. Breakfast was wonderful and location inside the city wall was perfect.

I am just about through spending two weeks at Palazzo Dipinto, and I strongly recommend it. While located in a very central medieval palazzo this hotel is not even ten years old. It was created to a high standard with an effective modern overall design. Super breakfasts, helpful staff and even parking for those with cars. Three minutes walk to the absolute center of the walled city. Searching hard for anything to improve, perhaps rooms could have a few more storage drawers.

Palazzo Dipinto is a superb hotel in every respect. Staff were consistently friendly and helpful. Our room was a deluxe double on the first floor, spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The bathroom had lots of shelf space, which we appreciated, and a roomy shower. The breakfast buffet was quite varied and delicious. We particularly appreciated how quickly our room was made up after we left in the morning. It was a lovely hotel in this beautiful city.

Quiet location just one hundred meters from the Puccini museum. |The team are wonderfully friendly and helpful.|Excellent rooms and breakfast. There is also the great convenience of a small parking garage next door where they’ll park your car if you reserve in advance.|We shall definitely return.

We enjoyed our stay in this boutique hotel. The location is excellent, nearby St. Michael square and the Puccini Museum, yet still on a quiet street. Upon entrance, we were welcomed by very friendly staff. They seem to be staffing the front desk alone, yet they still guide you to your room. In our case, we stayed in a junior suite, which is very spacious and suits a family of three perfectly. Quality finishings. throughout the room and hotel.|Modern bathroom, including bidet, spacious walk-in (rain)shower.|Large bed which is firm yet comfortable, and the sofabed was comfortable too.|Able to open multiple windows, looking at inner courtyard, and a well functioning AC in case needed. Two flat screen TVs, one in the seating area and the other in the bedroom. Note that the bedroom is technically not fully separated, instead there is a solid room divider. No doors. The room includes a minibar, and offers some free water (flat and sparkling) upon arrival. We wished this water would be replenished each day, but that did not happen. There is free water offered downstairs though, including cantucci.|There is opportunity to make tea and coffee in the room. Surprising to see this is soluble coffee: I would definitely recommend changing that. As such, we rather had coffee downstairs which was excellent. Just in case needed: there is an ironing service and if you wish to do so yourself the staff will bring you the ironing board and ironer. The ironing board is a bit flimsy but the job gets done. Breakfast was served between 7:30 - 10:30am. While there would not be the largest selection, it was all (very) good quality. Attentive service, even if alone, and they would remember our coffee/tea preferences for the next day. My only suggestion for improvement here is to offer freshly squeezed orange juice instead of from a container as you can clearly taste the difference. As said, the front desk was very friendly. They helped us arranging private transportation from and to the nearby airport. I also saw them making multiple dinner reservations for other guests. Note that this hotel does not have a gym nor swimming pool, which was fine in our case but we can imagine other preferences. Overall a great stay in a high quality hotel with friendly staff, good service and in a calm setting.
