Scene
Small, upscale hotel with traditional design elements and a modern spa attracts couple
The quaint, narrow street of Giuseppe Mazzini leads to the entrance of Hotel Panorama and its small, traditionally furnished lobby with brown leather couches and wall mounted prints of floral oil paintings. First established in 1957 under the name Hotel Minerva, the hotel attracted singers like Johnny Dorelli and Claudio Villa. Nowadays it's a quiet, tranquil property that largely attracts couples with its modern spa. Families, however, may also appreciate the spacious rooms.
