"Beautiful, modern and really well-designed rooms. Loved our view of Castello Estense and that we could easily walk to all sights. Breakfast was a very generous and delicious selection. Staff very friendly and helpful. It'd have been nice to have free luggage storage, like in most other hotels - but, admittedly, the paid lockers were another example of clever design.

"Outstanding in all ways. From personal and friendly pick-up at the airport by our host, to superb breakfast buffet in a glass garden room, featuring house-made specialties (such as fruit sauce made from grapes in the garden), and carefully appointed room in historic building in an interesting, walkable neighborhood outside of central bustle, but a 5 minute walk to all sights."

"It was my second time staying at this hotel. I returned this year because I enjoyed my stay before. Bicycles are available. Safe and secure location. I believe the rooms were once apartments that were converted into hotel rooms, so they are spacious, they have a kitchenette and a very sturdy door. The hotel staff is very nice. Great communication."
