Vittoria

This was a family history research visit to Faenza. Hotel very central with most helpful English-speaking staff. Hotel best described as 'shabby chic' with some beautiful features like painted ceilings, decent breakfast, interesting decorations (ceramics) but a bit low on room comforts. Huge bathroom with sumptuous bath towels - but no tissues. One easy chair and one hard chair. Big wardrobe. Free safe. Air con hard to manage but OK. Our room overlooked their courtyard garden cafe with piped music until late - audible but not too intrusive. Otherwise the location was very quiet and only 5 minutes slow amble to the Piazza del Popolo/Duomo/Campanile/etc. Parking was in bays in nearby streets but apparently free parking vouchers were offered every day by the reception. Solid WiFi. Many TV channels but Fox News and Sky News International were the only reliable English language ones.
