I found Convitto Della Calza to be a charming spot during my stay. The place has a lot of character, transformed from a former monastery, which I really appreciated. The walk to the city center took around 30-40 minutes, but it was an easy stroll with a great gelato shop nearby. While I enjoyed the spaciousness of the room and the daily cleaning service, I felt the overall experience could benefit from a bit more warmth from the staff.
