We felt right at home at the Dei Mori Bed & Breakfast. From the crowded book shelves in the lobby-lounge to the Barbra Streisand playing in the background, the signs of aesthetic overlap were in evidence. Located in a renovated 17th-century palazzo on Via Dante Alghieri, Dei Mori is owned by Peter, a boisterous and professional Englishman. Arches, high ceilings, and narrow hallways lead to six sun-streamed rooms.
Dei Mori's layout is adorable. Each and every room is different. Larger rooms have sectioned-off closets with full-length mirrors and very flattering lighting. Several have frescoed ceilings. Most are decorated with classic furniture in dark wood and wrought iron, with varying shades of fluffy bedding and fluttery curtains. Flower vases, cute bed side lamps, and original artwork distinguish rooms from one another.
As Peter says, "This is not a plastic hotel." Spend a few hours on the sun-swept balcony or in the parlor—the library is yours to devour, and includes a hefty selection of guidebooks to boot—and it hardly feels like a hotel at all.
