Hotel Sagittario, Torre, Padua

Hotel Sagittario, in the Torre district of Padua - lying to the north east of the historic centre of the city, this comfortable and quiet three-star Padua hotel is in a great spot. You are very close to the motorway here, and thus out to the airport at Venice and to the Brenta Riviera. Yet this is a very peaceful and relaxed spot, and lying a couple of kilometres out of town, you can quickly be in to Padua and seeing the sights.

The keynote of the Padua hotel is efficient and friendly service. The hotel has its own restaurant, Il Dotto di Campagna, and you'll enjoy traditional Paduan cuisine, based on fresh, seasonal ingredients, as well as the more familiar Italian favourites. Il Dotto is also open to the public and it's popular, so you're advised to book tables in advance. Rooms are single, double, twin, triple or quadruple, all with minibar, pay and satellite television, bathroom with shower and bath, radio, telephone, air conditioning and hairdryer. This Padua hotel has WiFi internet access included free of charge.

Head into town from your Padua hotel and you'll be spoiled for sights. The Basilica of St Antony of Padua with the relics of the saint, and the Scrovigni Chapel, with its legendary frescoes by Giotto, are just the most famous of the treasures in the town. Get a good guidebook of Padua and enjoy the Palazzo della Ragione, with further fine frescoes, the Gran Guardia and the Palazzo del Capitano on the Piazza dei Signori. There is the baptistery, Donatello's marvellous equestrian bronze of Erasmo da Narni, and the Scuola di S. Antonio, with frescoes by Titian.
