B&B Centro Storico

Top choice in Viterbo


A great little bolthole in the heart of the historic centre. Its three cool, tastefully attired rooms, including a mini-apartment for four, are up a steep set of stairs (no lift) on the 1st floor of a 14th-century palazzo, about 200m from Piazza del Plebiscito. Kettles are provided, along with some lovely homemade biscuits; otherwise breakfast is served in a nearby bar.

It's not the easiest place to find but your host, Daniele, can help you out on that front.
