Pensione Barrett

Pensione Barrett review Rate it

In the same family for 40 years, this pensione takes its name from its most famous resident (Elizabeth Barrett Browning stayed here in 1848). A bewildering number of antiques and curios give it a vaguely eccentric feel: the reception is crowded with tapestries and statues; rooms are a mishmash of faux-classical columns, dark wood furniture, original wood-beamed ceilings and pastel walls. Breakfast (costs extra) is served in the rooms, some of which have great views over the square. Air-conditioning is €8 extra per night.
