"Wherefore art thou Palazzo Victoria? About a quarter mile from Juliet's balcony. But there is nothing star-crossed about guests' love for this hotel, a medley of historic eras, dating to the 14th century with a 21st century atmosphere catering to a wide swath of international travelers. Handmade furniture in the sleeping rooms, frescoes and tapestries in the suites, contribute to the out-of-time sensation."
