Our experience at Palazzo Alvear was beautiful, relaxed and perfect. What stood out was the beautiful interior and the location.

Verified guest, March 2026

Palazzo Alvear is a very special villa (palazzo!) of the usual standard, character and charm that I have learned to expect from The Thinking Traveller. It was a fantastic location for our family at the stage where our children are older and want some independence by being in a town.
