Yes, we know the Due Torri and we have seen the rooms. A Ziner friend of ours has stayed there on two occasions and, though her room was small, she was satisfied.

No, we don't. Perhaps another Ziner could comment.

Even further - probably not suitable for you since it would be too big of a hike if traveling solo. Your best bet would definitely be in the central city in our opinion.

We recommended the delle Muse in response to the recent query for a hotel with the possibility of car parking. The other important thing the delle Muse deserves credit for is warm and genuinely caring management by the Lazar family, which owns the hotel.
