The
tourist office
is at Piazza G. D'Annunzio 2 (Mon-Sat 9am-12.30pm & 3-6pm; tel 0423.529.046). Accommodation is all but impossible to find. The cheapest of the
hotels
is the
Duse
, a reasonable-quality three-star at Via Browning 190 (tel 0423.55.241; L150,000-200,000/a?¬77.47-103.29); the place is booked solid on the second weekend of every month, when a large antiques fair takes over the centre of town. Of the two four-star hotels the
Villa Cipriani
, Via Canova 298 (tel 0423.523.411,
www.sheraton.com/villacipriani
; over L400,000/a?¬206.58), is a long-standing favourite with Europe's crowned heads and mega-rich showbiz types; doubles start at L475,000/a?¬245.34. Above the main square, the new
Albergo al Sole
, Via Collegio 33 (tel 0423.528.399,
albergoalsole@sevenonline.it
; L200,000-250,000/a?¬103.29-129.11), is rapidly making a name for itself, with impeccable facilities and a breathtaking view from the breakfast terrace.
For around L45,000/a?¬23.24 you can get a fine meal at the best
restaurant
in town,
Ca' Derton
, Piazza G. D'Annunzio (tel 0423.529.648; closed Sun evening & Mon); the more basic
Cornaro
just off Piazza Garibaldi, in Via Regina Cornaro (closed Mon), has a good range of pizzas plus the standard
primi
and
secondi
. Other useful information
