There's a top-floor hotel overlooking the massive, happening Piazza della Repubblica, and you would swear, on grounds of location alone, that it's out of your price range. Yet Pensione Pendini is the living proof that dreams do come true. A double room with a private bath in low season is still in the double digits, and view inside is nearly as fabulous as the sprawling panorama below.
Smiley and ultra-professional Emanuele welcomed us with flair to the light-streamed three-star hotel. Pendini is brimming with grand old hotel charm, long corridors, and mirrored walls. Solemn black-and-white uniformed staff are the icing on the cake!
Rooms come in a very basic layout in shades of red, blue or green. Dark wood furniture is a cross between antique-styled classic, and simple streamlined industrial. In short, there's plenty of space to store your bags, in tall, mirrored armoires you won't spend hours admiring.
Bathrooms are mid-sized and simple, with modern appliances and plentiful toiletries.
The Pendini has kept guest coming back since 1895. The nine piazza-view rooms, the killer location, and the friendly elegance inside all seal the deal.
