Centro Paolo VI is a property housed in a historic 17th-century palazzo in the center of Brescia, run by a non-profit organization that has preserved its architectural and cultural heritage for years. The complex has a private garden that offers a quiet difficult to find in the city center, as well as a church and a chapel that testify to the property’s link with Brescia’s civic life.
The rooms, spread across several room types, retain parquet floors and classic furnishings, combined with comforts such as air conditioning, flat-screen TV and private bathroom with shower. Some rooms offer a balcony, garden view or views over interior courtyards, while the studios and the two-bedroom apartment cater to those seeking greater independence, with an equipped kitchen and a living area.
The location is one of the most appreciated strengths: Brescia’s main UNESCO sites, including the Santa Giulia Museum and the Castle, can be reached on foot, while the train station is about 1.5 km away. Private parking is available on site, along with a snack bar for a break.
The room offer at Centro Paolo VI includes eight different room types, from the most compact single to the two-bedroom apartment designed for families or small groups. All the rooms share parquet floors, classic-style furnishings, air conditioning, a private bathroom with shower and flat-screen TV, as well as soundproofed walls that help preserve the quiet typical of this historic palazzo.
What sets the rooms apart are mainly the size, ranging from the 12 sqm Single to the 50 sqm Apartment, and some specific details: the King Room with Balcony offers a private view over the garden and monuments, the King Deluxe adds a minibar and exposed wooden beam ceilings, while the Studio and the Apartment have their own kitchen, ideal for longer or more independent stays.
