I recently stayed at Casa Lucio, and while the location is absolutely stunning, right next to some amazing restaurants, my experience was met with a few bumps. The rooms were nice and clean, but the loud music from the hotel restaurant went on until midnight, which was frustrating. The staff were kind and helped us with a fantastic tour guide, making the service feel exceptional. Overall, I think it's a great value for the location, although some improvements could be made regarding noise levels.
