Ferrara hotels, Italy - the 3 star Hotel Touring, Ferrara

Hotel Touring, Ferrara

This Ferrara hotel makes the perfect resting place for exploring the fascinating historic city. This handsome medieval town is about half an hour from Bologna and there is plenty to see here. Pretty cobbled streets radiate from the centre, which is dominated by the imposing Castello Estense, home to the noble Este family before their line died out towards the end of the seventeenth century. Visitors can see the gorgeous courtyard and dungeons as well as the castle's grand Hall of the Government with its fabulous 16th-century painted ceiling. The city also has an impressive 12th-century cathedral as well as a National Art Gallery which hosts a rich collection of art treasures. The Estense Castle is just 50 metres from the hotel, which overlooks the lovely Viale Cavour park. Despite its central location, this is a very quiet, peaceful place to stay.

Hotel Touring is an elegant 50s-style building situated in downtown Ferrara. It has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment which has sensitively preserved a charming 50s ambience in combination with all the modern comforts one would expect from an Italian hotel of this calibre. There are 53 bright, stylish rooms, all glamorously furnished with lovely period pieces and fitted with a spacious modern bathroom as well as satellite television and internet connection point. All rooms are accessible by lift or via ground-floor access and cots are available for little ones.

As well as 24-hour service on the front desk, there is a safe-deposit facility and left-luggage service. This Ferrara hotel has a well-stocked, welcoming bar with an intimate, relaxed ambience. All major credit cards are welcome.
