FAQs about hotels in Ferrara







A Renaissance Rival to Florence

Ferrara was a haven for the arts during the Renaissance and much of this is still evident today. The powerful Este family held court in the multi-turreted Estense Castle, protected by a moat and drawbridge, and they were illustrious patrons of artists and authors.

Bellini, Piero della Francesca and Titian all perfected their strokes here, and the university houses parts of Ludovico Ariosto’s original manuscript of his epic poem – Orlando Furioso – containing allegorical references to his sponsors. The family is also depicted in Palazzo Schifanoia’s detailed fresoces, and the Palazzo dei Diamanti gallery displays works commissioned from the School of Ferrara.

Some Este tombs are in Corpus Domini Monastery and another is in the ornate cathedral whose three-gabled façade overlooks the crenellated town hall. Both line Piazza di Trento e Trieste, the main square where locals come to socialise. Another popular square is green Piazza Ariostea.

The Este strengthened their position through marriage alliances with the influential Borgia, Medici and Gonzaga families, but they didn’t have it all their own way. Ferrara’s well-preserved city walls were built for defence, and ardent opponent of the Renaissance, Savonarola, was born in this UNESCO World Heritage city.

Surrounding cobbled streets house many luxury Ferrara hotels, cheap apartments and B&Bs near the train station, available on Booking.com.

    An old walled town with an amazing Castle and a great art gallery (on a par with Bologna). A day trip to Comacchio and Ravenna is about 200km and well worth taking the time to see the Po Estuary and the Ravenna mosaics. I hired a car from Morini for Euro 45 and 15 for fuel. Hire a bike and view the palaces and museums as well as ride around the outside of the town walls.

    We spent 2 days and nights in Ferrara and it was a rewarding visit. If you are going to stay in Ferrara, we highly recommend Triquetra - rooms for rent for location, value, cleanliness, comfort, the "coffee room" and especially the host Antonino. The town has numerous sites & museums which are almost all included in the MyFerrara pass which, for 22 euro a person for 3 days and 2 nights, also covers your city tax of 1.5 euro p.p. a day (after a little paperwork at the B&B). The medieval streets of the old town are interesting to wander in - they have a very 'real' feel. Sightseeing highlights are climbing the Lions Tower in the Castle, the Palazzo Schifanoia, Casa Romei and the Archaeological Museum. Also the small Cathedral museum for it's collection of scribed and illuminated texts. Unfortunately the cathedral is under heavy renovation at the moment so it's difficult to see much. For dinner, you must try Osteria I Quattro Angeli on the square behind the castle - get the lamb chops (if you eat lamb chops)...amazing. Also, very nice service staff.

    While definitely secondary to to the larger cities of Bologna and Verona (the two main cities on my itinerary), Ferrara is also worth visiting for a day or so. (I can't compare it to Parma or other similar-sized cities in the vicinity unfortunately.) It has an attractive historical centre that's nice to walk around. The main attraction is the castle, which is a museum, but there are other worthwhile museums in the city. Particularly Palazzo Schifanoia, with its impressive frescos. And the long alleys of the old Jewish quarter were interesting.

    Fantastic place in the heart of Ferrara - step out of the hotel and the castle is there staring down at you in all its glory. Staff incredibly pleasant and helpful. The room clean, modern, and spacious. You're an easy 10 minute walk from the Palazzo dei diamanti, 20 from Parco Urbano and the walls, and a stone's throw from the old town. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a place nicer than this in such an incredible location. Hope to stay again next time I'm in the area.

    location was brilliant, only a 5 min walk into the old centre of Ferrara, and a 10 min bus ride to the train station. It was a perfect place to stay for the New Year’s Eve festivities when Ferrara was very busy. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was very comfort. The breakfast was a lovely selection of fruit, yoghurt, cold meats, pastries and cakes,served in a quiet, charming dining room.

The hotel is in a great location, away from all the noise but still very close to everything. It was really hot in Ferrara when I was there and the air con in the bedroom was incredible. I would definitely stay here again.

    The hotel Manager is excellent! Great communication prior to arrival and throughout the stay. Parking can be a challenge when the city is busy. He was prepared, walking us through where to park and providing a map. He even offered us a pre-paid option that was cheaper and extremely convenient. The location is fantastic! They have a large espresso machine and the coffee is great.
