COVID-19 Protocols

We are pleased to confirm that this hotel has put COVID-19 protocols in place to ensure compliance with the regulations introduced by the Italian government in order to ensure the maximum safety and security of its guests which is detailed below.

The measures introduced will apply to both the facilities provided by the hotel and its services to guests.  Their implementation will be closely monitored and controlled in order to ensure the heathiest environment in which guests can continue to enjoy their holiday in the confidence that their risks to exposure to the COVID-19 virus is at a minimum. 

We must point out that the implementation of these measures may result in minor changes to the facilities available and certain services offered by the hotel as described on our website and in our brochure and we therefore invite our clients to contact us if they have any concerns or queries in this regard.

Clearly the changes in practices and availability of facilities may result in a difference to the guests’ experience as would otherwise be the case, although a reduced number of clients may actually result in a better service being afforded to guests.
