Will be staying in Vicenza for business during our anniversary. Upon flying in from Los Angeles should I spend the first night in Venice then drive to Vicenza? Do you know also where to stay before flying in or out of Venice. Urgent response requested, leaving in 2 weeks!

Well, There is a place 10min train ride from Venice called Mira. This is the place where you will pay only E 50/nite for a real clean decent room

I don't believe that there are ANY "romantic" hotels in Vicenza proper.

Vik K<BR><BR>Thanks I'll check it out.

GAC<BR><BR>Okay, how about the nicest in Vicenza. Hotel De La Ville (Boscolo), Quality Inn, Christina, or Due Mori?

Boscolo Hotels are very, very nice, but are &quot;business&quot; and &quot;tour-group&quot; oriented, so I would not classify them as &quot;romantic&quot; hotels. The Due Mori is a very small, two star hotel in the old part of town, extremely convenient to the Basilica and surroundings. I'm not familiar with the other hotels. mentioned.

I stayed at the Due Mori. It was great for a two-star and for the price - good central location, clean, spacious room (for Europe), nice big window, wood furniture. But if you're looking for something 'special' you can cross it off your list. The bathroom had a funny shower and, while nice for a two-star, it wasn't exactly special.

How about Villa Michael Angelo, just a few miles outside of town. Anyone know about it?<BR><BR>Thanks for the honesty about the other places.
