Hotel AzziEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The three-star Hotel Azzi is housed in a former monastery on a quiet street in the city center. And that's only the beginning of the heavenly features at this budget-friendly abode.

The Azzi’s 18 spacious rooms are large and simply decorated in blues and yellows. Couches, bedspreads and curtains come in a heavy blue brocade that could stand to be updated, but there are also some shabby-chic touches and original antique furnishings. Air conditioning, television and free Wi-Fi are available in all rooms, and some rooms have balconies (ask ahead). En suite bathrooms are surprisingly large.

The Azzi is nicknamed Locanda degli Artisti (meaning “Artist’s Lodge”) for a good reason. Its hallways and common spaces feature myriad artistic touches, including temporary modern art expositions.

The extensive reception and lounge area is likewise, ahem, art-fitted, and features usable musical instruments, including a piano and an acoustic guitar (small concerts sometimes take place here). The comfy upstairs lounge leads out to a sunny terrace (note that as of early 2011 there is some construction happening on the terrace).

Downstairs is a cozy wine cellar and coffee bar with arched ceilings and long wooden tables. Breakfast is served here for an additional fee.
