Hotel Albergo Orologio, Brescia - Brescia hotel booking

Hotel Orologio, Brescia

The Hotel Orologio in Brescia is not your average hotel. Located in a medieval palace in the centre of Brescia, this boutique-style hotel has 16 newly renovated rooms, each classically decorated. While they boast plenty of character, they also have all the essential modern facilities including air-conditioning, internet access, LCD television, a hairdryer and direct-dial telephone. Services in the hotel include a front desk that is open around the clock, a laundry service that returns your clothes cleaned and pressed within 24 hours, DVD and car rental, and photocopying. Enjoy breakfast while soaking up the atmosphere in the internal courtyard before heading into Brescia.

A city since Roman times, Brescia is surrounded by hills covered in vines that produce some of the most prestigious wines of the Lombardy region. Parts of Brescia are remarkably well preserved, boasting Roman, Renaissance and Medieval remains, and at this three-star hotel you are just a stone's throw away from the best of them. Sights include the town museum, the Castello, and the Duomo (cathedral). Also known as La Rotonda, the Duomo has an intriguing circular shape and dates from the 12th century when it was built on top of another basilica.

Brescia's proximity to Milan and Verona means that day trips to these fascinating cities, as well as the nearby lakes, are an option if you want to explore further afield. Either rent a car from the hotel or take advantage of the city's many transport links to the surrounding area.
