Description

Palazzo Sordello is a 12th century palace located in the heart of Mantova, a hidden gem in northern Italy, declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 2008. Once home to the Bonacolsi family who ruled the town from 1272 to 1328, the palace today offers a wonderful, unique accommodation combining ancient grandeur with modern luxuries. A careful renovation has restored the main floors of the palace that now features five luxury suites. The price listed is for the entire property but it is also possible to rent only one of the suites. Please inquire for the pricing.

The northern Italian city of Mantova is a beautiful, historic city surrounded on three sides by lakes. Piazza del\'Erbe, Mantova\'s central piazza, is one of the most beautiful in all of Italy - it\'s a lively square where both locals and visitors congregate. There are many cafes and several great restaurants in and around the piazza. In 2005 Mantova was named Italy\'s most livable city due to artistic and historical treasures, excellent culinary traditions, and wide variety of available activities: from boat excursions on the lakes surrounding the town, to the cycle tracks connecting the town to lake Garda.

This is a region rich in both culture and nature, conveniently located close to Bologna, Venice and Milan. There are many possibilities for excursions, including visits to Verona, Sabbioneta and Lake Garda, which are just a 40 minute drive away, or Cremona, the town of the violin makers, which is a one hour’s drive away.
