Top hotels in San Vincenzo
Bristol Palace Hotel
Beautiful hotel. Front desk staff was wonderful. The breakfast was very good but breakfast hostess was not the friendliest, I would expect a smile or warm greeting from someone who seats you

Hotel Astoria
The property is new and very clean. The amenities are nice. Simone was super friendly and helped us with many questions. Honestly, the rest of the staff, not so much. The area is nice for walking around despite the busy traffic. Everything closes at 8 except fine restaurants that you need a reservation ...
