Central location
Welcoming host. Spotlessly clean rooms set in a traditional building. Great location in city centre. Set in a busy square, so quite noisy, but to be expected. Nice extra touches - use of coffee machine, filtered water and fridge for communal use. Breakfast at local cafe was pleasant. Would recommend

I like everything about this B&B except for the parking. The staff is very professional and provided me precise instructions for self checking because I had a late checkin. But I need to park at a public parking lot which is about 500m away from the property. The parking lot is safe and price is reasonable. I paid €6 for 24 hours.

Seventy two steps up.
The location is great! There are SEVENTY TWO stairs to haul luggage up and go up and down. This type of information should be disclosed in the ad. It was to much for my husband to deal with. There is a balcony but no seating. The AC is to small and old to properly cool the space. There is a coffee maker but no directions to use it.

A beautifully restored historic building - this B&B is on the 3rd floor (no elevator). Overlooking the Plaza Stesicoro, in the heart of the historic city. It is above a bustling plaza but inside the room was very quiet. Lovely modern bathroom, nice designed. I couldn't figure out how to use the coffee machine - no instructions!

Nice place, great host
Great location, nice, clean place with all of the amenities. There is a fridge in the common area only and the doors are made of glass so you can hear anyone coming in and out of the flat. Also, it's on the fourth floor, I believe, so prepare yourself to carry up your suitcases.

So nice!
We spent a wonderful three nights in B&B Acanthus. The room was beautiful and very comfortable with a spacious bathroom and shower. Nice comfy bed, too. Wi-Fi worked well. The location was perfect. Perhaps 10 minutes of leisure walking to the Duomo, close to shopping and also very convenient to the Alibus stop which takes you to and from the airport. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast at the corner cafe. Coffee and pastry is perfect for both of us. Francesca is very friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend staying at her place. Thank you for everything Francesca!
