Small apartment, furnished in a basic way but convenient for the historic center of PADOVA (Urbs picta - UNESCO World Heritage 2021) and the city of VENICE with its lagoon (world heritage site).
PADOVA is the ancient city with St. Anthony’s Basilica, the Scrovegni Chapel, the Old Palace and the University, founded in 1222: the city of Giotto, Mantegna and Donatello.

The apartment is located on the third floor without a lift and despite being central it is located in a quiet area overlooking a green area from the terrace.
It consists of an entrance hall, living room with kitchenette and single sofa bed, a double bedroom and a bathroom.

VERONA (90 km, 54 m) offers a romantic vision of the Veneto with unforgetable operas at the Roman Arena and the remainders of Romeo and Juliet as well.
LAKE of GARDA (100 km, 60 m) is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world with cheerful villages, flowers, olive groves and the silence of the ancient villas and castles.
VICENZA (35 km, 21 m) reveals the splendors of the Palladian villas and an intact old centre of classic sixsteenth century architecture.

A little more than an hour by car, the ALPS show their beauty in the striking spectacle of the Dolomites all around Cortina D’Ampezzo.
And more again: ASOLO, MANTOVA (the ancient Court of Lords Gonzaga), RAVENNA (more than a millenium old Byzantine mosaics) and, last but not least, FLORENCE worldwide known, just two hours by train from Padova.
