Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited to a single room — With only one room and a king-size bed, the apartment is best suited for solo travelers or couples, not larger groups or families.
- No on-site parking mentioned — The property does not list parking, so guests arriving by car may need to find public parking or use other transport options.
- Check-in window may be restrictive — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 20:00, which could be inconvenient for those arriving later in the evening.
- Some minor maintenance issues reported — A few guests noted a broken showerhead and a slightly difficult-to-find entrance, though these did not detract from their overall positive experience.

8.8Verified guest“We loved our time at La Soffitta. The location was perfect, close to the train station and a short walk to the center. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and fully equipped. The little kitchen was a highlight, helping us save on eating out. The bed was extremely comfortable. The private internet was a nice plus. There were a couple of small issues, like a broken showerhead and a slightly tricky entrance, but overall it was wonderful. The hosts were quick to respond and helpful. We'd gladly stay here again.”
8.8Verified guest“An absolutely fantastic stay! A very kind and helpful lady greeted us, and even though she didn't speak English, she used Google Translate. The main host was reachable on WhatsApp and spoke excellent English. The location was ideal, near the station and center, about a 20-25 minute walk. The room had amazing amenities: a full kitchen, a lovely bathroom with a washing machine and heated towel rack, a very comfortable bed, and a fold-out dining table. Loretta and Susy, the property managers, were extremely hospitable. Everything felt cozy and close by, with a nice bar downstairs providing free wifi and a great patisserie nearby. The owner was just a text away. A truly perfect stay in a beautiful city.”
8.8Verified guest“Our stay at La Soffitta was excellent. The location was very good, a short walk from the central station and about 10-15 minutes from the center. The studio was fully equipped and beautifully designed, with thoughtful details like color-coded towel sets per guest. The host's care was evident throughout, and they were friendly and helpful. The heating was great too. Very comfortable and convenient. The only downside: hard to think of any.”
