The hotel, once the guest quarters for the Ducale Palace, has been
sleekly renovated, but impressive features of its past are seen
throughout with massive thick walls, high vaulted ceilings, and
stone archways. On the fourth level of the hotel there is a
romantic garden with one side enclosed by a carved stone
balustrade, where you can gaze out to a beautiful panoramic view.
Fine antique furniture is used for accent, handsome oil paints
adorn the walls, and Oriental carpets brighten the floors.
Exterior: The hotel is the annex of the Ducale Palace, where the
Duke of Montefeltro used to welcome his own guests. In 1997 the
building was completely restored and became the historical and
beautiful hotel which it is today.
Lobby: Furnished with fine antiques, handsome oil paints on the
walls, and Oriental carpets on the floors. The pretty guestrooms
have a sedate, refined decor, showing an effort to preserve the
aristocratic aura of the hotel's heritage.
