Scene
Charming hotel in former private residence
Located in a former private residence, Locanda Sant’Agostin
is a small, quiet hotel with charming classic decor. In a narrow stone alleyway, a
green door with a brass knocker marks the entrance to the property. Inside, a marble
staircase leads up to the lobby, where tasteful furnishings include a tapestry rug, parquet floors, chandeliers, and large oil
paintings that combine to give the space its Old World appeal. Large windows framed by heavy drapes fill the room with natural light. The lobby shares space with the breakfast area, where tables are covered with red and gold jacquard linens and elegant wooden chairs with damask upholstery. Overall, this is a small and cozy property, and though there aren't any features or on-site facilities, the convenient central location is ideal for tourist couples and families seeking to explore the city on foot.
