“I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Pavia. It was thrilling to open the windows on to the piazza.”
Our beautiful, elegant room in this historic building had every comfort, and overlooked the piazza in front of the cathedral.

Gorgeous room and an unrivalled location on the Piazza next to Duomo. Lovely little city with great restaurants and walks on the Doorstop. Very useful to be able to park my moto securely too.

“Very good, lovely property in excellent location on quiet piazza but very central.”
Excellent location, our room overlooked the Duomo. Very receptive to allowing us to store our bikes inside although very limited space.

“Pleasant and in a a quirky historic building”
It is a small property overlooking the Duomo and main sqaure. It is essentially a bed (and breakfast). The gentleman who booked us in was very helpful, with information on Pavia.

“A charming place in a great location.”
We have stayed in this B&B before. It is wonderful. The owners are so friendly and helpful. The property itself is in an excellent location in the centre of the city. It is full of charm, including the stairs - this was an old tower, and therefore there is no room for a lift. The rooms are spacious and clean and the bed was comfortable. We call this property quirky - very different, but very interesting and comfortable. Whilst some reviewers moan about the fact that breakfast is provided in the bar next door i stead of onsite,, we were happy with it, given that it was served out on the bars patio by a very friendly server, and was plentiful for us, consisting of a toasted ham & cheese sandwich, juice and coffee. For people like us who don't like a large breakfast, this was perfect. Many thanks Paulo. This was our second 2-night visit. We will definitely stay here again.
