More Affordable Options Outside Venice: The Casa Coloniale in Verona

Where: Via Cairoli 6, Verona, Italy, 37121

Venice's romance without Venice's high prices are an hour and 25-minute train ride away in Verona. Verona, the place where Romeo stood under Juliet's balcony wooing her (before climbing up there and wooing her in a rather more physical way). It's small and sweet and, like Padua, a damn sight cheaper than Venice except during the famous August opera festival.

So what's Verona's hotel scene like? Spotty....If you're a creature of fantasy, you wouldn't go far wrong with the Byblos Art Hotel. Rich gits and honeymooners stay in the Baglioni.

Budget lovers stay in the Casa Coloniale. It mistakenly calls itself a bed and breakfast, but it's actually one of Verona's best, cleanest and definitely cheapest hotels.
