Lovely apartment in Ferrara
This is a lovely apartment in a beautiful city. It has everything one needs for a comfortable stay. In addition, the owner of the apartment is very helpful and accommodating. The apartment is in a excellent location - an easy walk to the city center and plenty of places nearby to get food, coffee and gelato. Overall, it's an outstanding place to stay.

Beautiful historical site
We were enchanted with the site especially the gorgeous courtyard. The apartment was clean and in good condition. Good for a family with one or two children - one room is actually the loft area upstairs so is better for adults or older children as there is no door or separating wall. Lovely grassy track across the street, clearly an ancient arena, and great gelato and pizza right downstairs. Large park right around the corner and many wonderful historic sights in short walking distance. Owner very friendly and accommodating.

Met all expectations and beyond.
We were met on arrival by Ombretta the apartment owner and made very welcome. Ombretta explained the essential workings in the apartment, and showed us where the supermarket was. Ferrara is the perfect place to stay and well located to travel by train to Bolognia, Florence, Venice etc, and return in the evening to the peace of Ferrara. The history, it's residents, restaurants and shopping are delightful. The apartment is close to the centre and if you wish to use a bicycle as a mode of transport it is the perfect place to do so. The apartment is in a very old building and on the top floor, so be prepared for the climb, but very well worth it. The apartment is well equipped and very spacious. I look forward to a return visit. Transport direct from Bolognia Airport to Ferrara Castle is available and regular. Very good value.

Comfortable apartment, great location
We stayed in the apartment for 7 days in June, 2013. The owner Ombretta Fabri met us at the apartment and was friendly and helpful. The apartment is spacious, clean and charming, on the top floor of a 15th century palazzo. The apartment itself is very quiet but the front portico of the palazzo is hopping with a bar, pizza and ice cream shops, and a mini-mart. Ferrara was wonderful and a great location from which to explore the area; we took easy day trips to Bologna, Ravenna and Commachio. We had a car with us so the fact that Ombretta has a garage was important. We used the bicycles that came with the apartment for exploring Ferrara. Grocery store was a 10 minute walk (5 minute bike ride) from the apartment. Turns out the wireless internet was actually provided by the town of Ferrara, and although we signed up for it at town hall we were never able to make it work. We recommend this apartment and would stay there again.

Charming historic building
The photos and descriptions of the charming apartment are very accurate. The floor to ceiling windows lookout over a beautiful park and the apartment is very spacious. It’s a good location for walking the city to historical sites and restaurants and shopping. The host ombretta is a charming woman who has lived there all her life and made us feel very welcome. She made the whole visit special.

Freue mich auf ein Wiedersehen
Eins steht fest: sollten wir wieder nach Ferrara reisen, wählen wir erneut diese liebevoll eingerichtete Wohnung inmitten eines großen Palastes aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt dort, wurden durch unsere Gastgeberin gut betreut und haben auch Ferrara als Stadt schätzen gelernt. Denn es gibt eine Menge zu sehen und zu entdecken dort. Außerdem liegt Ferrara sehr günstig, um von dort aus viele andere herausragende Städte zu besuchen, so z.B. Venedig, Ravenna, Padua, Bologna oder Modena. Diese Ziele sind übrigens hervorragend mit dem Zug zu erreichen, teils zu sehr günstigen Preisen, wenn man die Fahrkarten z. B. über die train-App bucht. Freue mich schon jetzt auf den nächsten Italien-Urlaub. Christoph Bruckmann

Ferrara - Eintauchen in das italienische Leben
Wunderschöne Wohnung im Zentrum von Ferrara. Eine Stadt abseits vom Massentourismus, die aber einiges zu bieten hat. Sehr nette Vermieterin. Schade das nur ein Fahrrad fahrbereit war, denn Radfahren in der Stadt ist ein Erlebnis. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder.

Schöne Wohnung in stilvollem Palazzo aus dem 15. Jahrhundert
Wir waren rundum zufrieden! Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und bot reichlich Platz für vier Personen. Angenehm fanden wir auch, dass mit zwei Sofas und zwei Sesseln allen bequeme Sitzgelegenheiten zur Verfügung standen. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Die Wohnung liegt in schöner Umgebung und Ferrara lässt sich von dort wunderbar zu Fuß erkunden.

Die Ferienwohnung mit dem gewissen Etwas
Wunderschöne Wohnung nahe dem Stadtzentrum (den Weg in die Stadt kann man, wie sehr viele Bewohner der Stadt mit den Fahrrädern, die zur Wohnung gehören, erledigen). Sie erstreckt sich über 2 Stockwerke mit einer Galerie ( im Obergeschoß ist neben dem Schlafzimmer ein weiteres Badezimmer und ein Raum mit Waschmaschine etc.), ist sehr geräumig und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Signora Fabbri kümmert sich sehr um ihre Gäste und der Palazzo aus dem 15. Jh. hat schon eine besondere Atmosphäre.

Perfect Stay in Ferrara
We loved the apartment, the location and the city. Everything in the neighbourhood. We stayed with a family of 5 and really needed the airco. The apartment is cosy and comfortable and has everything you need. Late evening it can be a little noisy, but we were not really bothered. The garage was a great add-on and the availability of the bikes. Ombretta is a great host with tips and very responsive. She even brought the kids to the station, very kind. And do not forget to get the best ice cream (gelateria la romana) ever in the street.

The house is amazing and vert well located in the Town center
The appartement is located in a vert Nice historical building. It is ideal to visit the city center and to get out of it without any problem. It is located next to the most important museum of the town. The parking is very convenient. We enjoyed it a lot with our family of 4. The landlady is very very helpful and would reply any query you may have. We also loved the interior decoration and atmosphere of the apartment.

Edle Wohnung im Palazzo
Schon zum 3. Mal durften wir in dieser Super-Wohnung wohnen. Wie jedesmal wurden wir von Ombretta herzlich begrüsst mit einem Blumenstrauss und Früchten aus ihrem Garten. Die Wohnung bietet viel Platz (2-stöckig), ist komfortabel eingerichtet, sehr sauber, zentral gelegen. Der ehemalige Pferdestall dient als abgeschlossene Garage. Zwei Fahrräder sind vorhanden. Sehr praktisch, Ferrara ist DIE Fahrradstadt von Italen. Wer einmal wie Fürsten wohnen möchte, liegt hier richtig! Rita e Felice Hintermann

un appartement lumineux et confortable dans un palais magnifique et un quartier très vivant
Mme Fabbri nous a accueillis avec chaleur et nous a conduits de la gare puis à la gare en fin de séjour. L'appartement est confortable, lumineux, aménagé avec goût, bien équipé (manque une lampe de chevet dans la grande chambre). On est à deux pas du centre dans un quartier vert et très vivant. Le palais est splendide. La disposition des vélos est aussi très agréable pour la ville comme pour la plaine du Pô. L'appartement se situe au bord d'une rue passante et chacun sera plus ou moins sensible au bruit; il rsubsiste même fenêtres fermées, mais à des niveaux acceptables. Pour le reste tout est délicieux.

Appartment in old Palazzo
Nice appartment in an old palazzo on the second floor (no elevator). Near the center of Ferrara with shopping close by. Good base for a visit to Padua (botanical garden and oldtimer fair in the fall), Venice, Bologna (Lamborghini), Modena (Ferrari), Parma, Ravenna and the Adriatic cost. Ferrara itself is full of intersting places to visit. Ombretta is a fantastic host and very helpfull in any way.

Palio à Ferrare
Superbe appartement dans un palais Renaissance au coeur de la Ferrare Ercoleana. parfaitement équipé (dont climatisation qui fonctionne bien). garage pour une voiture sous l'appartement ce qui est bien commode. Attention, appartement en étage (3) sans ascenseur. Accueil agréable, la propriétaire est très disponible et donne des indications utiles aux touristes. le palio (dernier dimanche de mai) se déroule sous les fenêtres (mais caché par les platanes). Fête très agréable et bon enfant avec de superbes costumes renaissance sortis des fresques de Schifanoia. à ne pas rater si on est à Ferrare à ce moment. Bref, adresse chaudement recommandée.

Una location davvero unica
Abbiamo trascorso un fine settimana bellissimo e molto particolare: non capita tutti i giorni di soggiornare in un palazzo del '400 progettato dallo stesso architetto del Palazzo dei Diamanti. Il luogo è splendido, l'appartamento è molto confortevole, spazioso e pulito, esattamente come si vede nelle foto. Il centro è comodamente raggiungibile a piedi in pochi minuti. Vicino all'ingresso del palazzo c'è tutto quello che serve (pizzerie/ristorante, bar, farmacia e un piccolo market). La signora Ombretta è stata gentile e molto disponibile, un'accoglienza perfetta. GRAZIE!!! Lo consiglio a tutti quelli che vanno a Ferrara e vogliono tornare a casa con un bel ricordo.
