Arnaboldi Palace

This place in on the second floor of a historical building. It has the atmosphere of an up market B&B, rather than a hotel. There is a lift to help with luggage. Room, bathroom and bed were all very comfortable and well maintained, with good functioning AC. Breakfast was good, but mainly sweet. A few things I wish I'd known: (i) there are a lot of mosquitos in Pavia. Before you venture out, invest in and apply a good repellent. I got multiple bites - even around the eyes! (ii) there is a lot of street noise until about 2am. The hotel tries to help out by offering ear plugs. We slept well, but if you're a light sleeper or sensitive to noise, this could be a real issue. (iii) If you use the concierge parking provided by the hotel, check that the concierge is in residence. We paid 30 euros per night and ended up having to collect and park the car ourselves 3 out of 4 times. I complained on check-out and just received the argument (literally) that in our information e-mail this service was marked as "suspended". Apparently it was still possible to charge for a suspended service. (iv) the hotel is close to a restricted access area. This makes it difficult to find and drive to, even using navigation. Ask the hotel for detailed instructions in advance - otherwise when you finally arrive exhausted, you might just be tempted to take up the concierge-without-the-concierge parking option (see above). The breakfast staff, room service and afternoon reception staff were all charming, kind and helpful. I wish I could say the same about one lady on reception (and her passing-by boss?) in the mornings of our stay.

We loved our stay here. This unique hotel seamlessly combines historic charm with modern updates, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The attentive and hospitable staff enhance the experience and the location is great as well.
