Residence Palazzo Mannaioni

This was a spectacular find. And literally a little adventure to find. It’s tucked in a narrower cross street off the beaten path so we used Google maps on our phone to find the place and still walked right by as it has no exterior signage. We found it on the second pass (look for the house number 9, the large carriage door with glass and smaller regular door).
Upon entry is a cool medieval looking «lobby» but with modern décor and lighting. The gentleman who welcomed us took the time at his behest to explain how the appliances in our room worked, show us how to gain entry after hours (there is no after hours staff), and give recommendations hand written on a map for us.
Back to the «medieval» look of the place. At least the lobby which was originally the carriage house and room #2 have retained the stone and mortar exterior walls and wood beamed ceilings. The interior however has all been renovated with new fixtures, furniture, and floors, and windows. The kitchenette was equipped with mini fridge, micro-​oven, and induction range along with cookware and settings. Again room #2 is a split level with the kitchen, seating area with couch bed, and a smaller toilet and shower downstairs. The bedroom and larger shower and toilet are upstairs.
There are plenty of food and drink options within a block or two open early and late
All in all, we’re not only happy with, but pleasantly surprised to have found this place for our stay. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to stay away, but still walkabout close, to the main tourist area.
