Hotel Ovest, Piacenza

The three-star Ovest Hotel is conveniently located just a kilometre from the main A21-A1 highway, in the city of Piacenza in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region: it makes a great base for a stay in this historic area. Piacenza is well-known for the arts and has a number of stunning ancient palaces with beautiful gardens, while the striking 11th-century cathedral (Duomo di Piacenza) with its pink marble and frescoes is a must-see. Go further afield, with a trip down the River Po to enjoy the historic castles and stunning landscapes - and don't forget to sample the delicious local delicacies including Parma ham and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

The modern Ovest Hotel has just the right combination of welcoming atmosphere and hi-tech mod cons to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Its 53 rooms include doubles and roomy junior suites for up to four people. There are also apartments for longer-staying guests - each with private parking - that can be transformed into two suites using sliding doors. All rooms are air conditioned and have free internet access and satellite and pay-TV. A buffet of fresh, local produce is served for breakfast and there is also a relaxing lounge bar if you'd like a quiet drink.

The business facilities here are outstanding, with three fully equipped meeting rooms, each for 20 people, which can be combined to create an auditorium to accommodate up to 120 guests. A fully catered banqueting hall welcomes up to 90 guests for working breakfasts or lunches, and fresh flowers can be provided on request.
