    Cons -

    • No air-conditioner, terrible breakfast (almost every item there is sweet). I have no idea why this hotel got a 5-star official rating. This is an OK 3-star hotel with large and beautifully decorated room.
    • Rooms very tired and in need of significant refurbishment Lack of maintenanceA/C insufficient Breakfast food kept in a room without A/C or any refrigeration for perishable goods (eg yogurt, cheese)
    • Paying extra Euro 18 / day for parking, which was not properly. Disclosed on Booking Pre order Ad. Shower facility needs complete renovation, is very in convinient in the bath tub.

    Great location, very helpful and friendly staff, superb breakfast. Private parking safe and secure. Historic building with tons of character.

    Location only.

    The heating didn't work and we were freezing. Also, there was no possibility to drink coffee in the hotel, no bar, restaurant, etc. was open.Bad shower, no heating, absolutely does not deserve 5*

    5ImeldaPosted on: 10-11-2024

    Convenient location. Period property

    Bit untidy I places. Noise from other occupants

    7HansPosted on: 9-27-2024

    Nice atmosphere!

    No breakfast, expensive parking, lack of maintenance of staircase carpets.

    1AlexeiPosted on: 9-8-2024

    Big rooms, antique decor

    The breakfast )althogh booked) was unavailbale; the air condiioning was non workking properly; the room was not regularly cleaned and made up; in short teher was no service which may justify 5 star status; really disappointing

    4MonikaPosted on: 7-30-2024

    zklamání

    The 5-star rating for this accommodation is definitely not accurate. Such a hotel would require much more care. The walls had torn wallpaper in many places, there was a broken chair, and the chair cushions had huge stains, making it unpleasant and unappealing to sit on them. The shower enclosure was neglected - nothing you would expect from a 5-star hotel. I'm sorry, but our room did not match the description at all.

    We went to Ferrara for the summer festival. The hotel is right by the entrance to the festival. The hotel has it's own parking space, costs additional 18€ per day. They were nice enough to let us leave the car on the parking space also the next day after checking out. The room was ok, we did use it only for sleeping.

    8ItalotPosted on: 6-6-2024

    The breakfast was ok!

    I think the general insonorization of the room could be better!No presence of conditioning device...Some particular important things can't be broken!

    9AliciaPosted on: 5-14-2024

    Location is fantastic! Breakfast very good!

    We were out exploring the city until 9pm and the spa was closed when we got back. Sorry to have missed the opportunity to use the spa! Later hours for adults would be wonderful!

    9JohnPosted on: 5-6-2024

    Ability to park one's car safely was wonderful.Room was large and comfortableBreakfast excellent

    Some wear was evident in the room and services such as brakedown of the lift

    4MadalinaPosted on: 5-3-2024

    Near to the center, and safe the parking. The garden is nice.

    Very cold in the room, without condition for 5*. It is an hotel with maximum 3* ,

    7IrinaPosted on: 4-13-2024

    We loved the building and the details , the location was great

    Was really hot in my room, 10pm 28’c , and the air conditioning is not working until May, I wish to know before we book . The room is not what you see in the photo!

    7JacquelinePosted on: 11-1-2023

    The property is small and cute. The location is very good.

    The shower never had hot water. I asked for it to be fixed but it never was

    6SyedPosted on: 10-31-2023

    It is a great historical building but needs an overhaul in facilities. My room was flooded with flush tank leaking the entire night. Limited staff. Phone not working. I had to personally come down for everything. The staff took its time in responding and made me miss my meet. Generally a stressful stay

    9AndrewPosted on: 10-15-2023

    This is a well converted palazzo. The breakfast room was rather historically luxurious. Reception staff welcoming and helpful. The view out my dormer window reached by my very own circular staircase was green and peaceful

    All was good imho
