Why stay in Treviso
Treviso is one of the most underrated cities in the Veneto: quiet canals, frescoed arcades, authentic osterie and an atmosphere reminiscent of Venice without the crowds. It is also a strategic base for exploring the Prosecco Hills (UNESCO World Heritage), Palladian villas and Venice itself, reachable in 30 minutes by train. Accommodation costs a fraction of what you would pay in the lagoon.
Best areas to stay
Historic centre within the walls
The medieval heart of Treviso is enclosed within 16th-century walls and crossed by the Sile and Cagnan rivers. Via Calmaggiore, Piazza dei Signori and the Isola della Pescheria quarter are the city's living room. Here you will find B&Bs in historic palazzi, canal views and the ability to do everything on foot.
- Ideal for: couples, cultural travellers, those arriving by train
- Average price: €80-160 per night
Borgo Cavour and station area
North of the centre, Borgo Cavour connects the railway station to the historic heart in 10 minutes on foot. A convenient zone for those using Treviso as a base for excursions: frequent trains to Venice, Padua and Belluno. Classic hotels and modern B&Bs at reasonable prices.
- Ideal for: travellers in transit, business, those visiting multiple Veneto cities
- Average price: €60-120 per night
San Zeno and southern zone
A residential neighbourhood beyond the Sile, quiet and well-connected. Here you will find residences and more spacious apartments, easy parking and the Sile River Park nearby for walks and cycling.
- Ideal for: families, longer stays, cyclists
- Average price: €55-100 per night
Prosecco Hills (Conegliano-Valdobbiadene)
30-40 minutes from Treviso, the UNESCO hills offer farm stays among vineyards with tastings included. It is a world apart: silence, panoramas and wineries at every turn.
- Ideal for: food and wine enthusiasts, couples on a romantic escape, those with a car
- Average price: €70-150 per night with breakfast
Types of accommodation
B&Bs and guesthouses
The most common option in the historic centre. Many are housed in palazzi with original frescoes and offer breakfasts featuring artisan tiramisù (Treviso claims to have invented it). Look for those with terraces overlooking the canals.
Historic inns
Treviso has some inns that have been operating for centuries, with renowned restaurants on the ground floor. Venetian hospitality here is genuine: simple but well-kept rooms, and tips on osterie you will not find in any guidebook.
Farm stays
In the Treviso countryside and on the Prosecco Hills, farms offer rooms surrounded by vineyards and radicchio fields. Breakfasts with their own produce, often a summer pool and bicycles available.
Apartments
Excellent for families or stays longer than 3 nights. In the historic centre you can find lofts converted from former warehouses along the canals, with industrial charm and equipped kitchens.
Tips to save money
- Treviso is 40-60% cheaper than Venice: use it as a base for the lagoon
- Event weekends (Tiramisù World Cup, Christmas markets) push prices up: book early
- Canova Airport is 3 km from the centre: many B&Bs offer free transfers
- In low season (November-February, excluding Christmas) prices drop 25-30%
- Treviso's osterie serve cicchetti at €1-3: dining this way is authentic and economical
