This guesthouse is a superb deal.. You are close to everything, you have what you need close by, its clean, well run, convenient to the train station (10 min walk) access to a kitchen to make your own things to eat, clothesline for laundry, only caveat is the stairs but that is minor in the picture. The staff superb. Francesco was beyond helpful helping us with arrangements, reservations and just being an all around great guy. Paola was also helpful and great. Choose this hostel, its very worth the money. Can't recommend it enough.

Good location if you're coming into the train station and trying to lug your luggage to the guest house. Francesco and Paula (the people who run the place) were absolutely lovely - very helpful and friendly!

Fantastic hosts, great having a kitchenette so we could cook our own food, fridge, good size room and bathroom. So handy to the train station but only a short walk to the Duomo as well.

This is the best hostel I've stayed in anywhere - and after 12 months of backpacking I've stayed in a lot. More like a hotel, the rooms are very clean, bright and well furnished even with a TV and dvd player in our room. Location is excellent and no more than 10 minutes walk to all attractions and only 2 minutes from the main train station. The staff were lovely. They gave us a map on arrival and helped us plan our trip, they even booked our tickets to the local attractions. The other guests were all lovely and considerate. Would def stay here again. 10/10.
