Hotel Verdi

Frommer's Review

Facing the Ducal Gardens, this Art Nouveau hotel preserves the elegance of its era while meeting the needs of today's visitors. The guest rooms feature parquet floors, brierwood furnishings, and fine linens. The marble-lined bathrooms offer luxurious soaps, thick towels, and body oils. The adjacent Santa Croce restaurant offers a refined yet cordial atmosphere resplendent with period art, furnishings, and lighting in which to savor traditional cuisine and fine Italian wines. In summer, a brick courtyard, alive with greenery, allows you to dine outdoors. The garage at the rear of the hotel is guarded.

During the day, you can walk through the Ducal Gardens (Parco Ducale), landscaped by the French architect Petitot and decorated with statues by another Frenchman, Boudard. With their splashing fountains, wide expanses of greenery, and gravel paths, the gardens make a great place to relax. Admission is free.
