“Our stay at Casa Busari was beyond amazing. Germana and Gabriela were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, handling everything from late check-ins to offering helpful tips. The location was perfect, right by the Cathedral and close to good food. The room design was stunning — one of the most beautiful places I've stayed. Rooms were spotless and cleaned daily. The kettle downstairs and espresso option in the kitchen were great bonuses. We can't wait to return.”
