Not only is this a great location right near the cathedral, it is gorgeous and well appointed apartment. Gianni, who met us at the apartment gave us tips for local businesses. We used these to hire bicycles from the Todisco Brothers and had an excellent meal of local dishes from Osteria Strabassotti.Hiring bikes and circling the city wall is a must. We did it twice, once on the inside and once on the outside. It only takes an hour or so depending on how many information boards and bars you stop at. There are no hills (as Gianni said “flat as the floor”) so a well maintained old fashioned bike will make you feel like a local. Loved it.

The apartment is a bit smaller than in the images, but in a good way, it's very comfortable with a great courtyard. Francesco had been super helpful with information about what to see in Ferrara, where to eat, and a great place for gelato. Location is perfect within minutes from the centre. Highly recommended.

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.
