Mittlerweile nahezu eine Tradition bei Aufenthalten in der südlichen Toskana, einen Zwischenstopp in Ferrara einzulegen und hier zu übernächtigen - saubere Zimmer, nette Familie, gutes Frühstück - und erstmalig (weil Sonnntag) keinen Parkplatzstress ;) Parken ist aber auch easy, wenn man auf den Inhaber hört. Bin mir sicher, bei meiner / unserer nächsten Reise wieder hier zu nächtigen. Top Hotel!

Un ottimo tre stelle a due e dico due passi dal centro di Ferrara, colazione a buffet non grandissima ma con ottimi prodotti (i cornetti alla marmellata spettacolari), fanno caffè o cappuccino quando glielo chiedi. Personale eccellente e altrettanto eccellenti le pulizie. Io ci tornerei volentieri e lo consiglierei.

The hotel is right in the centre of town, opposite the Castle. It has all the comforts and rooms are quite updated. There is also a mini-bar with decent prices (1euro a little bottle of water in comparison to 3euros at NH). When i arrived for checking, I was welcomed by the scent of home cooked cakes which I then found the following morning for breakfast: the owners are really helpful and kind. Really recommend this hotel.

Add to that the fact that it’s in a superb location, less than a minute’s walk to the Castello Estense and the main square. Definitely recommended.
