The best bed and breakfast in Mantua, with its history, atmosphere, and attention to every little detail. The antique interiors are extremely beautiful. Everything is very comfortable, and the staff is always available. I will recommend it to all my friends and hope to stay there again next time in Mantua.

The Casa del Pittore is a quiet space in the heart of Mantua. In the courtyard, you can breathe air impregnated with art and history: contemporary art because the grandfather of the current owners was a painter (his paintings are on display in the accommodations) and Renaissance history because the walls of the house are adorned with ancient frescoes, as it was once the residence of a branch of the Gonzaga family. Virginia, the painter's granddaughter, and her father welcome you in this unique and familiar atmosphere where you feel totally relaxed and at home. My daughter and I stayed in the micro-apartment on the ground floor and we were independent for outings and meal consumption: an excellent solution for the current period.
