During the high season, the town is packed with tourists. If you wish to steer clear of the crowd, you should stay well above the historic town centre, and to postpone your exploring until the evening when the day-trippers are gone and the town belongs to those who stay overnight. The Villa Ducale is the perfect retreat for people not fond of staying in hotels. The atmosphere is relaxed and defined by an intimate charm. Many of the services that you would normally be billed for at a hotel are provided to guests free of charge here, such as a cooking classes, afternoon tea, or an aperitif with finger foods. The bubbly proprietress Rosaria Quartucci cares for her guests like she would for dear friends – diligently, cordially, and genially. Particularly well suited for quiet connoisseurs and romantics.
