Casa Howard places great emphasis on personalized services, particularly breakfast, which is prepared “cooked to order” and served directly in the room or in the internal patio/garden. The continental breakfast includes homemade jam and fresh produce. The property also houses the Carducci’s One Restaurant, specializing in Italian cuisine, and a self-service bar offering wines and champagne.
