Do not book here. We specifically booked a spa room arrived to a basic room with a shower. Expedia have no idea what rooms they have available so just book you anything but at the cost of the more expensive room. Expedia refused to refund. Palazzo refuse to refund. Payed top dollar for a basic ass room.
