"We spent 6 nights at Hotel Bel 3 and it was amazing. The staff were so nice, we had a city view /pool view room and it was beautiful!! The rooms were so pretty and clean! We had breakfast every morning and it was delicious. They had the same menu every day but it was really good. The restaurant on the property had some of the best dinner we’ve had. We have no complaints about this hotel at all. I am pleased that I booked with them. We had our son with us and from other reviews we did go ahead and rent a car because the hotel is up on the mountain. It was amazing thank you for making our first time in Italy so smooth."
