I had a mix of experiences at Residenza D'Epoca Palazzo Galletti. The room was spacious and had charming decor, but I encountered issues like a noisy air conditioning unit and an unpleasant bathroom smell. Although the location was convenient for sightseeing, the breakfast was disappointingly basic and lacked variety.
