Top hotels in Sanpolino
Hotel Sirmione Terme
This is a very tired, dirty hotel. Room was missing a shower door, filthy walls, worn and tired! Staff was incredibly nonchalant and cared not. Breakfast was average and staff inattentive. Cleared our own table.

Fantastic breakfast, great variety and quality. Very quiet to sleep, excellence rest. They give bicycles to reach town centre, which is an excellent idea. I will definitely return for longer!
