Two days of relaxation and well-being. The structure is very clean and in a super central location in the heart of the Jewish Quarter of Ferrara, a 5-minute walk from all the tourist attractions that the city offers. Special mention to the manager Francesco, a very kind and helpful person who made us feel at home from the first minute. Highly recommended experience.

My husband and I, together with our little dog, stayed at this property for two nights to visit the beautiful Ferrara. We had a great time from all points of view. We were welcomed by Francesco, who was very kind, helpful, and friendly. I would recommend this property and we will definitely come back. Thank you.
