It's only a two-block walk from the Duomo to the Hotel Bavaria, which offers 17 sumptuous rooms in a gorgeous 15th-century palazzo. The Bavaria was recently renovated, giving the spacious and quiet hotel a few modern touches.
Rooms either look out to the bustling pedestrian-filled street or onto the magnificent courtyard, where you can imagine many a post-Renaissance romance blossoming. We swear, there's a golden quality to the place. Perhaps it's the lighting. Whatever it is, it makes the Bavaria a romantic hideaway.
Lenny and Leonardo, who run two other centrally situated hotels, carefully preserved the historical integrity of the Bavaria during remodeling, resulting in some interesting (and surprising) touches: original 16th-century wood-beamed ceilings in the lobby and breakfast rooms, and lovely fragments of centuries-old frescoes popping up in places you'd least expect them.
What a great deal!
