B&B del Duomo

"Front desk was helpful-we were sent to the wrong place for breakfast-didn't have internet service after 8pm-check out took over an hour. I booked with hhotel.com but the hotel said I had to pay them which has never happened to me-without internet it took an hour to run charges-there were little black bugs in our bed which made you itch and left red marks-we were able to shack the sheets which helped. I would not stay there or recommend any travelers, because of the experience I had."
