Princess Art Hotel, hotel in Ferrara

Located in Ferrara, Princess Art Hotel offers air-conditioned accommodations, 2461 feet from Este Castle. Ferrara Cathedral is a 10-minute walk away.

The breakfast was just fine, tasty and varied. The breakfast room itself was most attractive as was true for all the public spaces. The room I occupied was devoid of drawers forcing me to live out of my suitcase - a condition I hate. Maybe fine for a one or two night stay but not for 5 days. The shower was tiny but this is not out of the ordinary for most hotels below deluxe class. The mattress and pillows had seen better days. The bathroom and bedroom were maintained well. The location is 10-15 minutes on foot (and I walk fast) from the historic center. While Ferrara is a very safe city on a walk back in the later evening often I found no one on the streets in the area of the hotel. It.can be confusing to find the hotel through the maze of streets if you ever want to vary your path. Despite these negatives and on balance I found the Princess Art Hotel pleasant but not a bargain for what one gets.

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.

    Ferrara is part of the UNESCO World Heritage.

    Ferrara is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The main part of the buildings in Ferrara is built in the Renaissance style. The Este family, which had an important position in Italy, made it a point to build an exceptional city. Ferrara is still surrounded by walls and is thus protected from the outside world. As if thanks to this, it was possible to preserve the atmosphere of ancient times. In addition, there are many beautiful parks around Ferrara, making it a unique place to relax and study interesting historical attractions.

    Ferrara is a small city, but with a lot of history, especially the building's from the Este family. We spent three nights there, and enjoyed our time in the city, and the restaurants we used, but we felt three days was enough.

    A small compact old city that was easy to get around. We enjoyed a range of activities including the archaeological museum, Palazzo Schifanoia, Palazzo dei Diamonti, the Castle and the Cathedral among other sites. Easy to get around on foot. Lots of places to eat. The train station is off to the site of the old town. Easy train access to other major cities as it is on the main route to Venice. Also local trains to Ravenna.
