Restored nineteenth-century frescoes cover select bedroom ceilings, and top suites open onto terraces facing the cathedral dome.
Salon Bar
Marble tables sit beneath scenic wall murals, where guests find all-day refreshments and local evening appetizers.
At the table
Breakfast brings fresh Tuscan pastries and made-to-order dishes set out beneath the high frescoed walls.
