Brescia Antica Hotel Deals
Centro Paolo VI
"Lovely hotel and room with balcony. In a quiet part of town. About a 15 minute walk to a local supermarket. The room would benefit from a kettle to be ale to make a drink, but there are some vending machines on the ground floor for snacks and drinks - cash only."
