Tosco's word
Stella D'argento's traveler rating of 9.5 from 53 reviews outshines Panoramic House's 8.0 from 11, even though the other criteria are nearly identical. For a couple or a small group seeking calm and coves within walking distance, the B&B at €468 with breakfast included is the smarter pick. Panoramic House, with its 120 m² and 3 bedrooms for 6, suits a family that wants to be a 5-minute walk from the center and the fortress, for €658 per night, a high price for what is described.
