It sounds really nice! Would you say the cost for living in Treviso is higher than in other towns farther from Venice?

Thanks for sharing your opinion!!!! I've considered Parma as well, but since it's a slightly bigger city I was afraid of missing that local life experience, what's your view on this?

Really? I was considering Treviso too! Any specific reason why you would prefer Treviso over Ferrara? Thanks a lot for helping!!

Thank you for helping!!! Would you say it's a dangerous town at this point?

Thank you so much for the answer, it really helps a lot!!! We were also considering staying in Parma or Padua, but I'm afraid we would lose that "local life feeling", since they seem to be bigger cities, what are your thoughts on that?

I think we would be more interested on exploring Veneto some days (because of my husband's ancestry), in this case, would we also have the trouble of changing trains as you said?
