Al Vecchio Palazzo

Located in the centre of Casto, half way between lakes Garda and Iseo, Al Vecchio Palazzo is an intimate hotel with a Lombard restaurant. It offers free WiFi and classically-furnished rooms with an LCD TV with Sky channels.

Set in an 18th-century building, rooms at the Vecchio Palazzo Hotel are fitted with light-wood furniture and tiled floors. Each comes with a minibar, along with a hairdryer and toiletry set in the private bathroom.

Breakfast includes cappuccino and pastries, together with ham and local cheese on request. Guests can also enjoy lunch or dinner at the on-site restaurant.

The owners can organise hiking and caving trips to the nearby Parco delle Fucine. Brescia is 37 miles from the hotel, and the A4 Autostrada Milano-Brescia motorway is a 40-minute drive away.
