What people say

Beautiful establishment, beautiful view, very helpful and polite staff. The nice garden, it was very quiet in the night. I don't know more because we stay only for 1 night. Staff service level, location. The kitchen closes too early, there is neither restaurant open nor room service after 11pm, so if you come back from a concert or other event after 10:30 there is no way to eat enything, even if you beg the staff for a plate of cheese or a simple snack, there is nothing available. For a hotel of such high category (and price) it is absolutely unacceptable.

Food & Drink

The Principe Leopoldo Restaurant, is a very refined environment with tapestry walls, very comfortable chairs, lovely linens, marble floors and unobstrusive lighting. Any establishment named "Hotel of the Year" by GaultMillau must also have a "sparkling" cuisine. The "diamond" of the Villa Principe Leopoldo is Dario Ranza, who has been managing the kitchens for 12 years now. His philosophy is striking: you can rarely avoid classic French cuisine in a 5 ***** hotel, but for him, a demanding guest wants to be treated like a King by getting what he really likes and so he tries to fulfill such wishes.
