Just returned from a short break in Brescia visiting some friends. Looking for a good hotel around that city we decided to stay in Santellone Resort, an ancient abbey renewed as a boutique hotel (with a Spa) located just a few minutes by car from the city. The location is great, elegant and informal at the same time; the hotel is situated in a calm residential area in front of a park. We booked a junior suite, and for a very competitive rate we had a great experience! The room was large and clean, located on two floors: in the first floor we had a living room with comfy chaise longs, a table with two chairs, a flat tv with internet and a small patio; downstairs (the entry was on the 2nd floor) there was our amazing bedroom (with another flat tv) and a huge bathroom (with shower and jacuzzi and, of course, a lot of). Everything in Santellone Resort is new and nice, from the minimal-chic rooms to the garden. Loved the complimentary continental breakfast served in our room (no service charge for it!): coffee, cappuccino, breads, yogurt, fresh fruit juices, fruit, croissants, cookies etc etc.. delicious! You can choose between three breakfast menus: continental, american or healthy. We couldn't try the spa because we had not so much time, but looking at the photos it seems amazing.
Definitely recommended!!
