Palazzo Veneziano

Palazzo Veneziano

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was 5 star all the way. By far the nicest place we stayed on our trip. The staff was lovely and the location was very centrally located. We had several nice restaurant options right outside our door. The breakfast buffet was one of the best meals we had and it was only 10 euro! Highly recommend!"
