A hotel in the heart of Ferrara, Italy

Hotel De Prati, Ferrara

With a fantastic location right in the heart of town, the Hotel De Prati, Ferrara, offers three-star accommodation on Via Padiglioni, just off the main street of Viale Cavour. This is the historic center of downtown Ferrara: your near neighbours include the Castello Estense, the Palazzo Diamante and the Teatro Comunale.

Set in a quiet street, at the end of the pedestrianised zone of the 'centro storico', this Ferrara hotel retains the atmosphere and traditions of the old city centre inns. Alfonso Brandani opened the Hotel De Prati in 1900 - his guests were largely the writers, actors and painters who visited Ferrara, and today this comfortable 'albergo' retains an individuality most hotels just don't possess. Here, you are within easy walking distance of the main historical areas, from the university and from the numerous well-known restaurants in the city - Ferrara and the region of Emilia-Romagna as a whole is famed for the quality of its cuisine. There is art within the hotel too, with contemporary paintings, photos and sculptures decorating the lobby and breakfast room.

This superb walled city is best explored on foot or by bike and cycles can easily be hired nearby. The desk staff will be happy to advise you on tours and itineraries around the town. All rooms at this hotel in Ferrara have private bathroom with shower, heating and air conditioning, minibar, TV with free access to Sky (and pay TV too). The hotel has a lounge bar. There is a nine-hole golf course nearby.
