Torre San Francesco In Valenzano

To gain entry, you need to call the number provided at the entrance (then you'll receive your keys). From the outside, the castle looks rather eerie – a neglected parking lot and garden area. Inside, there's a striking smell from the oils on display. The first impression is poor, but the staff are friendly and helpful. It's very clean, with thorough cleaning daily, air conditioning, and a private bathroom. Ample free parking. Comfortable beds! We were surprised by the "packed lunch" instead of the typical continental breakfast, but that's probably just a matter of getting used to it. Overall, despite the average first impression, our multi-day stay turned out to be very pleasant.
