Beautiful stay in Ferrara

Beautiful stay at the centrally located apartment in ferrara. Fantastic terrace to relax and have a spritz and 10 min walk to the centre. Host was lovely and very friendly. Was able to check in earlier than stated and met us at the property and showed us around. Free car parking, about a 10 minute walk from the apartment. Would definitely recommend staying here and will be back again!

A lovely place to stay

The apartment was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It was clean and spacious. It is situated in the old part of Ferrara close to bars restaurants & shops. The host, Enrico, was very friendly & helpful & I felt that if needed I could ask for assistance (as I was travelling alone).

Wonderful!

The property is lovely, situated in a quiet area, but just minutes away from the centre; perfect location. The accommodation is comfortable and well equipped, we had everything we needed and the bikes were an added bonus. Enrico was great to communicate with and is a gracious and thoughtful host. We will definitely return :)

A great month in Ferrara

We have just spent a really memorable month in Ferrara. Our stay in Casa Giulio was fantastic, and Enrico was such a helpful host, giving us all sorts of tips about the must-see places in and around Ferrara. We got to most, but a month didn’t seem to be enough time! Casa Giulio is extremely comfortable and really well located, just a simple stroll down the lively Vie Saraceno and Mazzini into the heart of town. Plenty of eating options close by and a well-equipped kitchen if you want to stay in. We highly recommend a stay.

Great central location, nice host, quiet area!

The apartment is even better than described on their website. It’s full of light, clean, comfortable and well-furnished. It’s located right in the medieval centre of town and at the same time, it’s quiet since the surrounding area has limited traffic. There is a nearby parking place as well, in case you are travelling by car. What we found best was the spacious terrace where we spent a lot of our time relaxing and enjoying. The cathedral is nearby, as well as shops, a supermarket, bars, restaurants, banks and ATMs. I highly recommend a stay here especially because Alessandra’s courteous nature made our time there a real treat!

Schöne und gut ausgestattete Wohnung. Sehr ruhige Lage, man ist jedoch in gut 10 Minuten mitten im Zentrum. Es gibt fußläufig einige Restaurants, Geschäfte und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Enrico ist ein sehr herzlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber, den ich jederzeit für Fragen und Tipps ansprechen konnte. Ich kann diese Wohnung wirklich sehr empfehlen.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in Ferrara mit vielen kulturellen, landschaftlichen und kulinarischen Höhepunkten. Die Wohnung ist umfassend ausgestattet, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt (selbst zwei Fahrräder sind vorhanden). Enrico war als Vermieter immer für uns erreichbar und hat uns viele wertvolle Tipps zum Aufenthalt gegeben. Allein für die Altstadt (UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe) benötigt man ohne Museen mehrere Tage, um sie zu entdecken. Die Dichte an Restaurants ist schlicht phänomenal, zudem liegt das Preisniveau oftmals unter dem in Deutschland. Es lohnt sich ein Besuch in Comacchio (Klein-Venedig) und dem nahen Kloster Pomposa mit schönem Weingut. Auch Ravenna mit seinen beeindruckenden byzantinischen Bauwerken ist gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Besser mit dem Zug sind Bologna oder Venedig zu entdecken. Wir kommen bestimmt nochmal wieder, da wir noch lange nicht alles gesehen haben, was wir uns vorgenommen hatten :-)

Neugierig auf Ferrara ?!

Wir waren 10 Tage in Ferrara, ohne Auto.. Die Wohnung ist sehr ruhig und liegt im verkehrsberuhigten Altstadtviertel von Ferrara, doch in der Nähe des lebendigen Alltags der einheimischen Bevölkerung mit vielen Lokalen und Geschäften..Wir haben das vielseitige kulturelle Angebot von F. genutzt,und sind mit der Bahn nach Ravenna und Bologna (gute, preisgünstige Verkehrsanbindungen) gefahren. Eindrücke ganz anderer Art haben sich auf einer Radtour zum Po mit gemieteten e-bikes ergeben. Ein gelungener Aufenthalt mit vielen Eindrücken und Erfahrungen. . I.Wenk, April2024

Zum zweiten mal

Zum zweiten mal in Ferrara, zum zweiten mal in Enricos Haus. Der Gastgeber, die Wohnung, die Stadt – unverändert. Enricos Freundlichkeit, die Stille der Wohnung, die Stadt mit Überraschungen. Plötzlich beim Besuch des Museo Archeologico befindest du dich mitten im »Sturm« einer Aufführung des spettacolo del Conservatorio Frescobaldi, umgeben von wunderschönen Stimmen. Heidi + Dieter

Réservez sans hésiter !

Nous ne pouvons que chaudement recommander cet appartement idéalement situé dans Ferrare, dans une rue calme à proximité de nombreux restaurants et magasins et à 10 minutes de marche du centre. L'appartement est spacieux, confortable et très lumineux. Il est également très bien équipé : tout ce dont nous pouvions avoir besoin y était, parapluies y compris ! Vu la saison, nous n'avons pas pu profiter de la terrasse mais elle est très belle elle aussi. Un grand merci à Enrico pour son accueil, sa gentillesse et sa réactivité.

Esperienza fantastica e da ripetere

L'appartamento si trova in una zona splendida di Ferrara, nel cuore del centro storico medievale. Si tratta di un'area a traffico limitato, quindi molto tranquilla e silenziosa, dalla quale si giunge comodamente alla piazza del duomo. L'alloggio è esattamente come lo si vede nell'annuncio e tutto è curato in maniera ineccepibile. Il proprietario, gentilissimo e molto disponibile, contribuisce a far sentire gli ospiti come se fossero a casa. Abbiamo vissuto una bellissima esperienza che abbiamo intenzione di ripetere anche in futuro.

Central Ferrara

We had a week in Enrico’s apartment in Ferrara, the location is excellent, very quiet, mainly because Ferrara is a ‘no traffic’ area except for resident cars and bikes. It’s a lovely town, easy to get around without a car, 1/2 walk to the Station. Apartment was ‘as listed’ lovely big bedroom, kitchen good, great to have a washing machine for a longer stay, lounge area would be a bit tight for four adults, ok for kids, and it would have been nice to have just a couple of ‘condiments’ like Olive Oil, and Vinegar, Enrico very helpful with suggestions for restaurants.

Außergewöhnlich gut und schön

Die Wohnung von Enrico ist klasse. Von Enricoe wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen. Er hat uns die Wohnung gezeigt und alles erklärt. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber. Sie ist nicht so voll gestellt. Alles was wir benötigten, auch in der Küche, war da. Das Inventar und die Küchenutensilien haben eine gute Qualität. Der Balkon, mit viel Sonneneinfall, ist super. Die beiden Fahrräder, die zur Wohnung gehören, konnten wir gut für unsere kleinen Ausflüge gebrauchen. Die Lage der Wohnung ist hervorragend. Einerseits liegt sie ruhig, andererseits ist es nicht weit in das wunderschöne Zentrum von Ferrara. Auf den Weg ins Zentrum kann man schon in die ersten Cafes etc. einkehren. Einfach wunderschön! Mit dem Zug konnten wir von Ferrara aus schöne Ausflüge nach Ravenna oder Venedig usw, machen.

Charming Apartment in Ferrara

Enrico's apartment was perfect for our needs: very clean, well equipped, airy with a lovely shaded terrace that was a godsend in the hot weather we had. Situated in a quiet area on the edge of the pedestrian zone, a ten minute taxi ride from the station, it is an excellent base for exploring Ferrara's historical centre, museums and galleries and also very well placed for restaurants and shops. Enrico was extremely helpful with advice both before and during our visit. Un hospite molto simpatico! We would certainly re-visit.
