Casa Ciriani

A pleasant, budget choice for touring the Veneto region is found just outside Padua at Casa Ciriani, where Silvana and her mother, Mariantonia, thoroughly enjoy the international cultural exchange that their bed and breakfast business brings. Within the large family home, where Silvana grew up, are four simply decorated, homey bedrooms. All the bedrooms have a private, en suite bathroom (except one whose bath is located just outside the guestroom door). A bedroom with king bed, plus a twin bedroom combination and a bathroom, serves families well. The decor is much as it was before being converted to a bed and breakfast, complete with family photos, drawings, and other personal artifacts. Guests appreciate the large yard, and outside terrace overlooking the flower garden and grounds, where a breakfast of breads, cereals, fruit, cakes, and yogurt is served during the summer. Guests are also welcome to bring their own food and picnic. For those who love to explore, walks are organized on the nearby hills or tours of local wineries and artisans. Silvana be happy to teach guests over breakfast a few essential phrases that will make you feel comfortable shopping and ordering in restaurants. Albano Terme next door is famous for its thermal spas where Silvana's guests have a special rate.
