Locanda Casa Martini

Nice room but older. Served our needs. Walk away from town about 300 meters to a local grocery store. (However, no microwave and you share the refrigerator with two other rooms outside in the hall.)

Amazing location, clean and comfortable room, owner was very kind and friendly, self check in was easy, air con worked great, nice and quiet. There are so many great restaurants and cichetti bars nearby. Only 10min walk to the train station.

This boutique hotel, is so cute. I can't say enough about the uniqueness, of this property. Where do I start... firstly, coming in the door, you're met with a rustic vibe. The entryway, and up the stairway to the lobby, is a light brick. Once up the stairs, you land in the lobby. The wallpaper! The chandeliers! I love it. The ceilings had wooden beams, for that Old World feeling. The flooring had the established date of the hotel (late 1800's), embellished in center, and the modern furniture fit the look. The pictures don't do this place justice. I stayed twice, and each room, #12 & #15, was just as quaint. These updated rooms had their own cooling/heating system, and were big enough for me & another traveler, to open our big luggage, without feeling cramped. The beds & bedding, were so comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the modern bathroom. It was so clean, and big, for European hotel standards. The shower was also a great size. We both took showers, back-to-back, and both had plenty of hot water. The hotel is a short distance from the Santa Lucia train station, about 5-7 minutes walking... about 8-10 minutes if you're lugging baggage. No waterboat needed to reach the hotel. You get out the train station, down the stairs, and start walking to the left. The main walkway will lead you over a bridge. Continue walking for 20 seconds, and make a left at the 1st alley, on the side of a restaurant, with outdoor seating. (I truly believe it was the 1st alley, but no more than the 2nd.) You will know you arrived, because there is a lighted sign above the door, with Casa Martini's name on it. You can see the sign from the main walkway. You should have been in touch with the hotel, prior to your arrival, to receive the entry code, to get in. This is very handy, if you're arriving after the host leaves for the day.

Very convenient location, even if on a main road the room was quiet. Everything was clean and the late check in easy thanks to a door code. The room was comfortable and the staff very kind and helpful.

The air conditioning is a champ. Whoever was in the room before us had set it to 17C and it was holding that temperature despite the 25-30C temperatures outside! The room was nice. I was ridiculously thrilled by the towel swans the housekeeping staff made. The bathroom was spacious. Bath towels, hand towels, and washcloths were provided. Housekeeping service was great. There were extra pillows in the cupboard and the sheets felt nice. Shampoo was also provided, but it was the multipurpose soap-shampoo sort. The hotel is a short walk from Piazza Roma, which was very convenient when arriving/departing by train or airport shuttle bus. It's on a fairly touristy street, so there are plenty of restaurant options (of varying quality) within easy reach. There was a banner on a balcony with the name of the place, so it was relatively easy to find. Just had to spot the right alley (which Google did not know about).
