It did get very hot as it is south facing and faces the sun all day. Although there is some air conditioning I felt reluctant to use it much as it is a huge room. Because of this it doesn’t really cool the tucked away bedroom area. I think a fan for nighttime might be a good option

The location, sense of history, space

Exactly as described. Super easy to get to by car as well. Just wonderful. The location … the air con, the comfort level. Everything exceeded my expectations. Fabulous. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Some noise from the people in the square at night.

Excellent location! Impressive Palazzo! Great restaurant right next door. Secure parking. Very nice owner.

Although the owner of the property Palazzo Castiglioni himself came to take us into the room, initially we had to ask others at the property who we were not sure were connected to the property. But they helped. The owner very kindly left his contact details with a suggestion that we could phone him at any time for anything that he could help with. He also mentioned that his manager will also be available to contact. However, we did not ask and were not informed where their office was. We would have preferred to contact the manager rather than the owner for any incidental requests. On the last day, pre-checkout, we did meet the 'manager' who was very helpful. To help others: Please feel free (but be discretionary) to contact the owner for any appropriate help - even for arranging a taxi

Breakfast was arranged with a cafe next door. Easy to get to, welcoming cafe staff and good service. Being in the historic centre and close to most of the areas of interest, except one

Everything was great!

Fantastic place, a real palazzo! For those who appreciate special places! A huge hall, with high ceilings, wooden parquet, warm, with perfectly working everything , the best location in Mantova, a stunning view from the window on the square and the Ducal Palace.

A hotel, or strictly speaking, a homestay (like an air B&B), is located in a centuries old Italian Renaissance palace. This hotel only has 6 guest rooms open to the public, the rest are for the exclusive use of the palace owner. The hotel is conveniently located next to the central square, surrounded by famous historical landmarks. The hotel rooms are very spacious and tall, with clean and comfortable beds. The breakfast restaurant is located on the square, serving a typical Italian breakfast with Cappuccino and Corinne. Although it's a bit simple, enjoying an Italian style breakfast in the sunshine is also very pleasant and enjoyable. Butler part-time waiter and boss part-time waiter are both very friendly and hospitable.

Spectacular castle in Mantova!!! The pictures do not do it justice. We absolutely loved our stay and wish we had more time to enjoy this magical hotel

some furniture looks not tidy, hair dryer is not proper, owner is not easy to reply our whatsapp, room 's lay out is not well designed

heritage building, very good location,

Fantastic position and a real bonus to have elevator access in such a historic building.

Konaklama tarihi: Eylül 2023

we had to pay an additional 20 EUR for parking, which made the whole a very expensive affair; the price is definitely too high for this room + breakfast. The room itself was excellent, the building is run down and the cappuccino on Sunday morning was of really poor quality

The room was exceptional, the location was exceptional, Mantua is a very beautiful and lively city (at least the old town)

Location Room Bathroom Garden all wonderful

Air conditioning was not the best, but we opened the windows later at night and the room cooled off right away.

Staying here is literally staying in a palace, the room was gigantic with a fabulous view of the square below.

Sheets did not get changed at day 3 of a 4 day stay. A heated towel rack would have been an added bonus

Excellent in every way

Soundproofing could be better. No noise from outside but its possible to hear what the neighbours are saying!

Well decorated, large spaces with views over the square. Comfy beds. Nice little kitchen for a morning cup of tea.

Marvelously spacious room with a lovely view. On site parking was a blessing. The owner was so gratuitous and helpful. We will be happy to return on our next visit to Mantua.

For the amount paid the only negative is having to go to a cafe for breakfast. It was a very pleasant cafe though.

Great location. Huge warm room . Very clean. Friendly staff. Parking on site.

We could have used a couple more chairs; one of the two was too low for the table. As in so many hotels, we missed some piece of furniture or another simple support to lay out the open suitcases, it was impractical to put them on the floor. But it was nice that there were large built-in closets on each side of the bed, his and hers. Area closed for traffic, and we came from another bridge than the directions given from owner. I think we should just have followed gps.

very large room with windows to the central square across from Bishop's Palace. Very quiet place closed for traffic, so we could even sleep with open windows. With closed soundproof windows it was completely quiet. Large bed with luxury sheets. Large bathroom. Nice wooden floors. Tea and coffee. Safe Parking possible in the courtyard. Italian Breakfast in the neighbor bars. There is no reception, but we could call the host.

Location and quality of facility

Konaklama tarihi: Eylül 2022

This is not a hotel. There is no reception, lounge space, restaurant or bar. The photos lead you to believe there will be common areas in which to hang out. However, what you get is a suite, ours was on the ground floor so suffered from noisy people outside most noticeable in the evening. (Only one key for two people). Ours had a mezzanine area with the bed and a toilet. Downstairs was the shower room, dining area and sofa seating area. The space is lovely albeit slightly dark because the ceilings are high.) There was a small kitchen that came with kettle and coffee machine and a small refrigerator. It is stocked with water, coffee capsules and tea. There where enough cups and glassware for two people but no washing up liquid so couldn’t clean our cups between servings. There was no corkscrew or really any plates so as the weather was atrocious for two days we were stuck inside and drank tea out of dirty cups between braving the rain to go out for meals. Breakfast is in the cafe next door. It includes a coffee, pastry, yogurt and a very nice glass of orange juice. NB: on arrival you have to ring the owner to come and meet you to let you in the gate.

Fantastic location across from the Palace. Close to restaurants and cafes. Only a 15-20 minute walk from the station. If you want to stay in a former palace this is the place for you.

Somewhat worn and dated. Absence of accessible staff other than by phone. Not a great value for the money

Excellent location in historic building. Large spacious room Faustina very helpful
