Palazzo Bifora is a beautifully restored little hotel. Rooms are beautiful and tastefully decorated although tiny. Owner Omar is most accommodating and helpful! The ONLY place for improvement is breakfast. Although it is plentiful, there could have been more choices. Because you had to make your choice the night before, we felt the breakfast was prepped the night before (like the cut fruit) and things were not fresh. Eggs were cold. Rather than offering a dessert, maybe offer greater pastry choices and have these buffet style so guests can grab what they want. Also, there could have been slightly better housekeeping. Upon arrival, our floors had fuzz everywhere which required better vacuuming.
