Albergo Quattro Fontane - Residenza d'Epoca

The hotel has a cute cottage charm to it when you first walk up, but our room was awful as well as the building it was in. It is not handicap friendly despite what it says on its website, there is no way to maneuver a wheelchair up all of the stairs and through the narrow doors We requested a room with a bathtub, but there are no rooms with tubs except on the 3rd floor and there are no elevators. The building our room was in was filled with creepy wooden puppets of monks, there were creepy portraits of monks on our room's walls, and don't get me started on our very tiny, very not handicap friendly bathroom. They gave us a shower stool to make up for the lack of bathtub, but you couldn't close the shower door with it in the shower, the door was difficult for those of us with arthritis to close, the shower head kept falling and smacking me in the face, the water pressure was a trickling drizzle at best, and forget setting it to a temperature you found comfortable because is changes wildly from scalding hot to freezing cold. I started crying and didn't even finish my shower because it was so stressful. I ended up going up to a friend's room on the third floor and using their shower which wasn't much better. I'm 5'3", I'm not a tall person at all, and had to crouch down to wash my hair under the shower head, I can't take it off the wall and hold it over my head because of my arthritis and auto inflammatory disease, bother of which were flaring up because it was so hot in our room. I set it to the lowest temperature I could (10C/50F) and was still a puddle of sweat. On top of that, the bed was so hard that I could not sleep, and when I did sleep, I woke up in so much pain that I actually wanted to die. I will never, ever, stay at this hotel again even if it is the last one available. By far the worst hotel I've ever stayed in, and I've spent a week in a motel with cockroaches as a kid.

Absolutely beautiful small hotel with loads of character. It probably does take 500 years to make a hotel this good. Also, the restaurant is amazing! I'm still dreaming of the Venetian Sardines (Sarde in Saor). Simply divine!
