...and that one problem was that, having travelled from the North of Scotland that same day, at our eventual arrival at the Formosa we were almost left stranded without a hotel! Tense moments, I can tell you! What happened was... we were arriving late, well after the usual check-in time, so I emailed the hotel to let them know in... more

Great location, quality furnished bedroom and bathroom, excellent housekeeping and discrete service. more

Our group of 13 was very pleased with Casa Santa Maria Formosa. Paolo, Mike and Dan all provided personalized service. The "new rooms" on the second (it's Europe, read third) floor were exceptionally clean, the breakfast was tasty and the hot coffee kept coming! One of our travelers suffered with a broken toe from a fall, and Mike even offered... more
