Palazzo Arrivabene B&B

I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful this place is. Claudio is a very helpful and knowledgeable host. The shower was hot and strong. The bed gave us the best nights of sleep that we have had in Italia. Breakfast included homemade pastries made by Claudio’s mother and fruit from his trees. On a quiet street only a 5 minute walk from the train station and a very short walk to the central district. Our conversations with Claudio about Italian culture gave us insights far beyond what we could hope for at a commercial hotel. Experience true Italian hospitality here.

You could not ask for better host or a nicer place to stay. Breakfast was amazing.

A warm welcome from even before I arrived. I lost my crown the night before my arrival and wonderful Claudio made a call to his personal dentist and I had an appointment to have it cemented in the very next afternoon after my arrival. The ambiance of this Palazzo is so wonderful. The fantastic breakfast is far superior to what I expected. I really appreciated the many tips for where to eat and enjoy an Aperitivo. And, I learned much about local history when Claudio took time to chat with me at breakfast. I even met his sweet 90 year/old mother!

華やかで奥ゆかしい、素晴らしい宿。

What a wonderful bed and breakfast! Set in an old palace that has been well maintained and updated, this beautiful accommodation is very highly recommended. Claudio gave us a warm welcome and was very helpful - a really lovely host! The room was huge, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom just gorgeous. The breakfast was amazing, with lots of options and even superb sweets made by his lovely mother. Fantastic location within a few minutes walk of everything. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Claudio for a wonderful visit to Mantua!

Absolutely fabulous BnB. Located in a classic baroque 18th century palazzo, the property is stunningly gorgeous replete with ceiling frescoes. The rooms are spacious and well appointed with very comfortable beds, and the location is perfect for visiting the Ducal Palace and the Duomo. Numerous wonderful dining options are nearby as well. But most notable was the warmth and friendliness of the owners. Claudio was the consummate host, even driving us to the train station on our las day. Highly recommend!

This hotel is in an excellent location. The interior is an absolute treasure. You are actually staying in a former palace with fresco paintings on the 20 foot high ceilings. Truly magical. Claudio and his mother Luciana are delightful hosts.

I am quite picky about my pillows, so I do think the pillows could’ve been a little softer:).
