Monteborre was an incredible little place, which my boyfriend and I encountered, on our trip through Italy. In fact it was so amazing, that we decided to come back at the end of our trip in order to spend our last two days there.
During our first stay my boyfriend unfortunately got ill and needed to see a doctor. Not only did they call their own family doctor to make an appointment, they showed us the way by following their car because they said it could be difficult to find. It doesn't stop...

Besides the five stars I gave for cleanliness, friendly staff, and free parking, the continental breakfast was substantial and of excellent quality. The reservation we had made at a different hotel had fallen apart and we found this one on Expedia. We arrived around 10:40 pm well after the other guests had. The innkeeper had waited up for us and was very kind and welcoming. Breakfast the next morning was excellent with many choices, hot and cold alike. It gave us a great start to the day. The...

This is such a lovely spot. The location is convenient to food and attractions and the manager is incredibly nice and helpful. Comfortable bed, hot shower, nice garden though it stormed when I was there so I didn’t really use it. Would definitely visit Ferrara and stay at this locanda again.

If you remember “the good old days” of the small family-run Italian small hotel, this will make you go right back to those lost days! Riccardo and his family are so wonderful. When I told him I was interested in the history of the region, he quickly told me 5 or 6 amazing tales from the distant past, as well as from his own lived experience. This is why we travel: to meet people like this! Did I mention this hotel is LOVELY with a fine attention to detail in all things? I wish I could’ve stayed...

This hotel stands out from all the others I've stayed at. Its six rooms beautifully merge medieval character with modern style. If you visit Northern Italy, I strongly recommend it. The owner provides a personal welcome, and the property boasts lovely fruit trees and vines. The individually tailored breakfast is outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

Literally one of the best places I've stayed in a lifetime of world travel! The people who run this have figured out hosting. The room is immaculate, and it is in a perfect location, but it was the extras that surprised me most. I won't spoil your surprise by much, but they had an empty decorative vase in the room - I always buy myself flowers when I'm somewhere longer than a few days; there were scissors (!!!!) and an iron and ironing board - SO uncommon in Europe, as you likely know. I had...

Un'ottima posizione, a pochi minuti a piedi da Palazzo dei Diamanti e non lontano dal Castello Estense di Ferrara.
Splendidamente decorata con vera arte, è molto tranquilla e la nostra camera ("il Warhol") dispone di una cabina armadio/spogliatoio.
Altamente raccomandato! 👏👏👏👏👏

Found Principessa Pio on an Internet search of places in Ferrara. The photos looked great, but they frequently do, while the places often fail to live up to them. Not so in this case. The Pio has just a few rooms along with a restaurant in a recently renovated barn. The fit and finish are of a very high order with a minimal aesthetic throughout. Our room was spacious and relatively inexpensive. The restaurant is quite good and reasonable, and draws a number of people each evening. It is about a...
