We stayed on New Year's Eve. The apartment is very comfortable and equipped with everything necessary. The bathroom is new, the rest is classic but very well maintained. There are also some nice wooden puzzles to entertain the children. Private internal parking. Convenient location to the center of Ferrara, less than 10 minutes on foot to get to the center. The owner is very kind and helpful. I recommend it.

Property: 8 | Cleaning: 8 | Host: 9 | Location: 9 | Price/Quality: 8

Great and quiet apartment. The location of the beds should be reviewed. We were two dads with one son each and we had to sleep in beds in front of the master bedroom. Zero privacy, to go to the bathroom one had to pass in front of our beds. With more space, they could have placed the beds in the dining room. Apart from this, everything else is impeccable. Very kind host.

Room with renovated and very clean private bathroom. Friendly and helpful manager. The breakfast is as described, but nothing special (packaged snacks and cookies). Strategic location 10 minutes walk from the pedestrian area but in a quiet and discreet area.

What to say, we felt at home. A weekend, once we arrived, we parked in the courtyard and only took the car back to go home. Apartment on the first floor, super clean and brand new bathroom. Behind the Certosa. Thanks for the kindness of the manager and beautiful Ferrara.

I had a great time at Astrolabio B&B. The owner, very kind, even came to pick us up at the station. The room was brand new, equipped with everything necessary, including a small terrace and independent entrance. The self-service breakfast is a nice idea, allowing guests to have it comfortably in the room, with all the necessary items. I recommend it.

Very kind owners and excellent connoisseurs of Ferrara. Very helpful in providing useful information (places to visit, restaurants, etc.). Spacious and very clean room. Despite being in the center, the B&B is surrounded by greenery. I would definitely recommend it.

I visited Ferrara for the first time, for work reasons. My husband accompanied me. We were accommodated in an apartment (instead of the double room, but at the same price) with spacious rooms, furnished like the countryside house I used to go to as a child, clean and comfortable. Brand new bathroom, with a window. All in a very convenient location for the city center, with reserved parking and garden. Quiet. Bright. I also want to highlight the great courtesy and helpfulness of the manager, both in recommending dining places and in accommodating our schedule issues.

We had a very good time although maybe a bit too crowded (5 adults) for the night accommodation. The location of Astrolabio is great for walking to the center, quiet and close to the Certosa which is really charming, the manager is very kind. Also thanks to beautiful Ferrara, the sun despite the cold, the interesting museums, we took away a nice memory of our unfortunately short trip to Ferrara.

We are a group of 6 friends, 3 couples; therefore we occupied the entire property available (apartment for 4 and room for 2). We had a great time. The B&B is very welcoming, quite close to the station and a few hundred meters from the historic center of Ferrara. The kindness and availability of the owners absolutely exquisite. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Brand new, my apartment attached to the original house, surrounded by trees - feels like being in the countryside, also for the nighttime silence. Very spacious.\n\nSatisfaction because there was fruit as part of breakfast. Then to eat sweets and various cookies - different from the usual for guests from Northern Europe, on the other hand: an abundant choice!\nThe family was very willing to contribute to a pleasant stay, as a guest you feel very welcome and comfortable. Many thanks to them!
