What a great experience we had at the Valentini di Lucca. The hotel is very modern, with a beautiful 1950's stylish car right next to the reception desk. Nice touch.
The location is in the heart of the best neighborhood in Curitiba, surrounded by restaurants, bars, supermarket, shopping centers, etc. Couldn't be better.
The apartment was large and confortable, featuring a kitchenette equipped with a microwave and a frigobar. The bedroom is separated from the living room by a sliding door and it offers two tv sets, cable tv and even a dvd player.
The hotel also offers free parking and internet access to their guests, as well as a regular continental breakfast evey morning. The only possible fault would be the coffee, very weak, more like the north american taste. Nothing serious at all.
The staff couldn't be more friendly, helping us to choose and locate the best attractions, restaurants, etc. The cherry on top of the cake was when they gifted us with car race tickets, which we went and enjoyed very much, by the way.
Making a long story short, we will never stay at another place if coming back to Curitiba. Valentini di Lucca didn't leave us a choice.
