I booked this place because I thought my son would like it but I ended up enjoying it too. The property itself is a basic three star older hotel. Rooms are small and simple and beds are not very comfortable especially if you don't like firm beds. But it was very clean and I actually like having a bathtub. But obviously nobody stays here for the room. The chocolate design touches were cute and fun. But the biggest surprise was the breakfast. I expected it to be full of cheap products and more about quantity than quality but it was much better than I expected. The chocolate items were exactly like the pictures, a really impressive array. And the quality was quite good, bettee than the four star hotels we stayed at in our week in Umbria. I had a very good chocolate covered canollo, sone fudge pie, some little treats and the dark chocolate sauce. What was nice was that they also had a good selection of savory items. The fresh focaccia, ricotta and tomatoes as well as fruit and yogurt and the usual croissants and baked items. I only ate a tiny fraction of what was on offer but I give the breakfast five stars for both quality and selection. Parking was tight but manageable and location was not charming but convenient to drive up to the old city. Their shop has lots of interesting and reasonably priced itens. Overall I wouldn't want to stay here long term but for a night or two it's a unique and enjoyable place that really lives up to its theme
