Breakfast is served in a cosy communal room and consistently praised for its quality, variety, and generous portions. The staff personally prepares the breakfast and is attentive, often providing gluten-free options upon request. Guests frequently note that the breakfast is substantial enough to keep them full through the morning. There is no on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner, but the surrounding area offers numerous dining options within a 2-3 minute walk, including trattorias, pizzerias, and wine bars, many of which are recommended by the hosts for a local, less touristy experience.
