The five room types at Foresteria Palazzo Guazzoni Zaccaria share the same basic setup: large double bed, air conditioning, minibar, coffee machine, flat-screen TV with cable channels and a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, bidet and toiletries. Each accommodation is designed for two people and none offers extra beds.
The main differences concern size and view: they range from the 29 square metres of the Double Room, more compact and air-conditioned but without a specific view, to the 65 square metres of the Deluxe Room, the largest and equipped with a private patio overlooking the inner courtyard. In between are the Superior Double Room (34 sqm), the Large Double Room (37 sqm) and the Deluxe Double Room (35 sqm), the latter also with a patio and courtyard view. The choice between room types therefore depends mainly on the desired space and whether or not an inner courtyard view is preferred.
