“What struck me about this place is its prime location: a stone's throw from Cosenza's historic train station and a short walk over the Alarico Bridge into the old town. The on-site Italian restaurant, with its authentic regional dishes, is a definite plus, particularly after a scenic train journey from Cosenza Centro station. In my view, this is a solid, conveniently placed base for exploring Cosenza, especially for those keen on delving into its cultural history.”
