Grand Hotel Baglioni
The hotel was very nice, incredible terrace views of the duomo and had very hospitable staff. The breakfast selection was great as well. Our room was a good size. I only subtracted a star because the bed was a bit too stiff and the heat wasn’t quite warming up to what I set it to.
