With fresh orchids in the rooms and a bright, modern colour scheme, Albergo Verdi is a
breath of fresh air in Padua's conservative hotel scene. Upper rooms benefit from lovely
views over Piazza del Capitaniato, and the breakfast buffet groans with fresh fruit,
pastries, cold meats, eggs and cheese.

eraries and walking tours.
