This is a family run hotel, and it shows. The Consolini family really care about their business, and they have invested a lot of time, money, energy and enthusiasm into the hotel. Generally we were left to our own devices, which was just what we wanted, but if we needed anything, someone was always available and happy to help. This even extended to impromptu Italian lessons in the evening, and Marcello's patience with the mad British couple was nothing less than saintly.
The room was great - even though it was in the blazing August sun all day, the blinds and (quiet) air conditioning kept the room cool. The bed was comfortable, so we slept well. The double-glazing also helped - there was an enormous, loud thunderstorm on our first night, but the room was perfectly quiet.
We spent most of our time exploring the area, but for anyone looking for a hotel to stay in and around, there is an amazing pool there, which for us, provided a lovely backdrop for a nightcap.
In short, if you are looking for a small, friendly hotel, then I can't recommend Hotel Al Caminetto highly enough. It met and exceeded our expectations. Oh, and one last important detail - I think it also serves the best coffee in Torri.
