Options range from historic hotels, housed in wonderful crenellated palaces that have helped write the city’s tourist history, to family-run inns and up to B&B.
Scattered across the various Sestieri, the geographic areas into which the urban territory is divided, you will find a wide variety of accommodations catering to different tastes and budgets of each traveler.
After all, we are talking about a city that for decades has been a destination (or perhaps, better said, a hostage) of mass tourism and has never been cheap.
Things are somewhat better in the rest of the region, in so-called “minor” art cities like Padua, Vicenza, Verona, Treviso…, in sweet hilly areas (e.g., the Euganean Hills) or in charming spa towns where hotels and accommodations have developed more slowly and thoughtfully, now offering an acceptable quality-price ratio.
