Nestling in the heart of Ferrara, the picturesque town built by the dukes of Este, this elegant XVIth century residence is resplendent with coffered ceilings, ancient frescos and a collection of antique clocks. The sumptuous rooms, overlooking the park, are havens of comfort and the cuisine, inspired by the gastronomical traditions of Este, is a sheer delight. The magnificent Ferrara Palio is the oldest in the world.
