What the trend suggests
Possible renovation2020-10 – 2021-0585% confidence
A 7-month gap (Nov 2020 – Apr 2021) with post-gap average rising from 4.0 to 4.89 (+0.89 delta) is consistent with COVID-era closure followed by full renovation and reopening. Review snippets from 2021-Q2 onwards emphasize 'completely renovated' rooms, new furnishings, and 'rinnovate'/'ristrutturato' repeatedly, supporting structural modernization rather than temporary closure alone.
Issue resolved2020-10 – 2026-0878% confidence
The single 2020-Q4 review mentions 'materassi migliorabili' (mattresses could be improved) and discomfort from plastic sheeting. No subsequent complaints about mattress quality appear in any snippet through 2026-Q3. Multiple recent reviews (2024 onwards) specifically praise 'morbidissime lenzuola' (very soft sheets) and 'scomodissimi letti' comfort, suggesting this issue was resolved during or after the 2021 renovation.
