Piccolo Hotel Oliveta

This was our favorite hotel during our trip to Italy.  Our hosts, Alexandra and Antonio, were wonderful.  They were very attentive, informative, and helpful to answer any questions we had.  They provided suggestions for our stay and visit around the area.  The hotel was once a farmhouse, then a student house.  Our room "G" was quite large with twin beds, 2 chairs and a round table, dresser, t.v.; the bathroom was near the entrance, while the shower stall was at the opposite end of the room.  This room was once 2 separate rooms.  Our window had a partial view of the valley and the reception building.  In the reception building, there is a computer/library room, the breakfast room, and a lounge/bar.  Quite cozy and comfortable.  We felt so much at home; were offered complementary wine and cheese one night, and were given small bottles of first pressed olive oil. I was told by Alexandra that room G has been renovated, along with some other rooms.    Very good location, just south of Porta Romana.  The hotel has their own parking lot.  It's about a 10-15 minute walk to the center of town.
