The Itria Palace is a palace of the fourth century built on the ancient wall of the DiQuattro Palace. The upper floor houses the hotel with fine furniture, beautiful Murano glass lighting fixtures. It also boasts of Bohemian Crystal and artistic porcelain. The garden is well manicured and the plantings pop in front of the former palace wall. The room we stayed in had a rustic stone wall behind the headboard and a double shuttered window that opened onto a balcony overlooking the gardens where one could sit and enjoy coffee in the morning. The breakfast bar featured fresh cutup fruit yoghurt with granola and other toppings. Also featured were what I call Dolci or sweets. There were croissants filled with chocolate, almond paste, and fruits, varied muffins and bread from rye to pumpernickel and everything in between. The counter held terrines of various juices and a coffee machine that purveyed out lattes, cappuccino, Americano, and other coffees. There were also several types of cheeses that accompanied varied sliced ham and salamis. Olives, caponata, Scaccia (A tomato-cheese-layered loaf with a distinct al dente pasta-like inside and a crusty bread-like exterior) and Buffalo ricotta cheese were there for choosing. Hard-boiled eggs were available for the American palette. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this relaxing upscale hotel.
