ACCOMMODATION IN PADDA

While in Padua, we stay at the Casa del Pellegrino. This popular two-star hotel is situated within the medieval city opposite the Basilica ofSt Anthony - thus making it very easy to visit the shrine (open 06.30 - 19.30 daily).

The Casa del Pellegrino is a recent name for a hotel that dates back to the 18th century. Behind the 18th century facade this very friendly and very clean 2 star hotel offers (162) modem rooms. Those allocated to the group are with facilities (toilet and shower) air-conditioning and tv. Most rooms overlook the inner garden, while others overlook the Basilica of St Anthony. All rooms are accessible by lift. The large restaurant offers continental buffet breakfast and set menu main meals with Y4 ~ wine and Y4 ~ mineral water per person. The hotel also has a snack bar - as well as its own small chapel.
