Hotel Fondo Catena, Ferrara

Hotel Fondo Catena, Ferrara

Italy's rustic charm infuses this three-star hotel in Catena, just outside Ferrara: it is housed in a farmhouse and its adjoining barn. Although its environs are verdant and peaceful enough to convince you that you are deep in the heart of the countryside, Hotel Fondo Catena is in fact just minutes from downtown Ferrara. This means that the city's attractions, including nine kilometres of historical walls dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries, are at close hand. Churches and palaces pepper this pretty university town, and wherever you roam you're sure to happen upon some engaging building or sight.

Restored with the aesthetic of the original property firmly in mind, this Catena hotel provides charming accommodation in a serene location. Choose from single, double, twin and triple occupancy rooms, all of which come with a buffet breakfast included in the room rate. The en suite rooms have been tastefully furnished to be in keeping with the atmosphere of the property, offering simple elegance with bucolic touches such as wooden beams. Amenities include a television, telephone and minibar. The bright and airy restaurant invites you to sample some regional delights, and see why Emilia-Romagna food has earned its reputation as one of Italy's great cuisines. A stroll in the garden is the perfect way to relax after your meal.

This Ferrara hotel's convenient location means that the motorway/highway, train station and exhibition centre are all within easy reach. Should you require assistance with arranging transport, staff can help you hire either a car or bicycle. If you have your own vehicle, free parking is available on site.
