Great location in a lovely town filled with fantastic restaurants. The exterior of the building and the grounds are impressive and well maintained. Inside one can literally feel history in the walls, although it is humid and a bit moldy. The room was large and clean, so was the bathroom. A minus is the carpet on the floor which I do not enjoy in a hotel room. Air conditioner was extremely noisy and did not work, making our room uncomfortably hot and humid. The pool area was lovely although there are a lot of bugs in the gardens. The big minus was the breakfast. the staff were very friendly, however they did not seem to be trained in proper food preparation. Tomatoes had not been washed, there was dirt on them. Cheeses and meats were not kept chilled, the eggs must have been boiled many days ago, when we ordered scrambled eggs and omelette they seemed to have been cooked in a pan that everything sticks to and burns. I was afraid to eat anything but toast with jelly. Due to the bad experience with breakfast we did not try the on-site restaurant for dinner. Snacks and drinks by the pool were fine.

This is the quietest, most peaceful and most noiseless hotel I have ever spent a weekend at.
Beautifully surrounded, with a nice swimming pool, a magnificent hall for breakfast and really spacious rooms with a view that stretches out forever.
All the staff is professional and helpful always trying to make you feel at home.
A big thanks to Cristina and Roberto who take such good care of breakfast that you'd like to stay with them for a long time.
Do not miss the chance to stay at the Somaschi. You won't regret it.

The hotel is simple but comfortable. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The town has old world charm. A beautiful village. Great food and great wine. Makes for an idyllic stay. Go visit.
