The best things about this place were the rooms and the restaurant. We stayed in a suite that had a living room (where James slept) a bedroom and a big bathroom. It felt more like someone's home than a hotel, which was really nice since we were there for so many nights. And the restaurant was about 10 feet away from our front door. It's a nice, fairly well known restaurant in the area, so the menu was pretty short and focused. That was okay the first or second time we ate there, but we did get a little tired of ordering the same thing every night. But it was much better than having to drive somewhere. When we ate lunch outside, for example, we could leave the door to our room open and pretty much hear James snoring. The staff is really helpful and becuase this is more of a hotel, there are lots of amenities and always someone around to help you out. They washed all of James's bottles for us every morning, for example, and were able to organize a babysitter for us for two nights when we went out to dinner on our own. The breakfasts were amazing as well and everything was very convenient. The aforementioned kettle came in really handy... we were able to sterilize and prepare bottles for the daily very easily.
The downside to this place is that there wasn't much room to walk around and nowhere to sit inside until the main office opened at 8:30am (James had been awake for an hour and a half by then). It's on the top of a hill, so you have to walk down a pretty steep incline no matter what direction you go in. And it's on a tiny winding road, so not particularly safe with a big stroller. So, if there was some way to combine Salvadonica and Villa Tiboldi we'd have the perfect location!
