Buffet breakfast was set out by 7.30 am and there for self-service until 9.30 which suited us fine. Our room, 'Circe,' was comfortable and quiet in a very old house in a tiny alley off a narrow street high up in this beautiful historic hilltop town where cars have to be parked at lower level just outside the city wall but the lovely property manager walked with me to where we had paid to park the car and guided me to a well-hidden free car park only 5 minutes from the property. Street maps are incomplete, not showing the tiny roads and even tinier side roads, and it was very hard to find the property, hauling our luggage, but we succeeded eventually, discovering that we had to phone the manager's number (and deal with a voice mail in Italian) because no one was there to let us in. However, it was a great stay in a lovely place, once we found it and got inside!

The front door lock was really tricky/stiff to open, causing a late evening panic until a passing neighbour showed us the knack, involving one person heaving on the door and another turning the key with all their might. Guests who arrived the next day were equally baffled until we showed them the knack. Not ideal for a holiday property where there is no one on duty to help guests.
