amazing views

very nice breakfast

luxurious, luxurious, luxurious

We were treated to amazing views from our spacious comfort double room, where the fine sunrise over the ancient stones left us in awe. The very nice breakfast spread featured local dairy products and fresh pastries that fueled our days exploring the historic district. Plus, the unique cave bathroom experience added that special touch.

Staying at Fra I Sassi was such a treat! The cave room was unique with amazing views of the old town. Breakfast was a good spread with fresh local goodies. Just a heads-up, the parking situation needed a bit of planning.

warm room

I stayed in a Comfort Double Room for 2 nights, and the experience was really cool. The room felt spacious and cozy with its cave-like structure. The views overlooking the Sassi were absolutely breathtaking, especially during sunrise. Plus, having a stocked fridge with local drinks was a nice touch! They even prepared breakfast for us since we had an early departure. The only downside was the room could get a bit warm as there was no air conditioning, but overall, it was a unique and comfy stay.

The views from the room were absolutely stunning, especially looking out over the Sassi. Our kids loved exploring the cave-like features and the staff were incredibly friendly, even packing us breakfast for our early departure. A real gem for families!

My wife says that the shower privacy could be improved for families.
