Brescia is a beautiful old Italian town with Roman ruins, palazzos, high-end shops, and many restaurants. The town is not heavily touristed, lending itself to a relaxed, authentic Italian experience.The flat is located a block or two from the Duomo and within walking distance of the Roman ruins. The flat, known as the Doge House, is palatial (sorry, no other word for it) and yet comfortable. The two bedrooms are at opposite ends of the property, with an expansive dining room located between them. There is a long, wide gallery with large, comfortable seating areas and multiple doors along its length that open onto the balcony and courtyard below. The kitchen is fully equipped.Simona greeted us on our arrival and ensured we were comfortable. Parking is provided within the building's gated courtyard, so security was never a concern. Simona was available in case we needed anything but was never intrusive.An unexpected surprise was walking out through the gates in the morning to the sound of music coming from the music school across the street.If you're looking for a calm, rejuvenating holiday experience, Brescia and this particular flat are a 10 out of 10.
