“Wonderful Lodging in the Heart of Ferrara”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2010

We stayed at Dolcemela for 5 nights using Ferrara as our base to explore the area. Dolcemela was a perfect choice -- comfortable, friendly, and very clean and well maintained. Set on a narrow Medieval street, it is an easy walk to shopping, cafes, great restaurants, the Ducal Palace, and the cathedral. Marco, the charming host, speaks good English and is always ready with good suggestions for the best restaurants and things to see and do. Along with breads, cereals, meats, and cheeses, the generous breakfast offered an amazing array of pastries freshly made each day by Marco's sister along cappucino, coffee, tea, etc. made to order by Marco. We loved our time there.

Ferrara itself is a lovely, off the tourist-track city with lots to see and do. It is well located for day trips to Padova, Modena, Ravenna, and surroundings.

“Dolcemela was great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2010

We stayed at Dolcemela for 5 nights. Ferrara is a wonderful place to visit and Dolcemela is an excellent place to stay. Marco and his staff were excellent, organising us bikes to ride, and offering lots of advice on where to go and what to see. Marco and Christina speak very good English and went to great lengths to assist us with with a medical issue assisting us to access Doctors and the local hospital. The rooms are of a very high standard and the breakfasts are of excellent quality.

Dolcemela also has a lovely sunny courtyard

Dolcemela is also very well located with beautiful Ferrara at your doorstep. We took a taxi from the railway station on arrival and departure for under 10 euros. Without luggage it's close enough to walk (10-15 min), for day trips on the train to Ravenna and Bologna and so on.

This was the best place we stayed in Italy during our summer holiday.
The room was very spacious, quit, clean, .... The owners were very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was much more than we expected. We can recommend this place to everyone.

“A charming alternative to Ferrara hotels.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2006
3
people found this review helpful

This b & b, located a short walk from the Castle Estense and Duomo, is a delightful place to stay when in Ferrara. Our room was very spacious and overlooked the small garden where we relaxed after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast was excellent. The owners were very helpful in providing information or a cold drink when needed. The b&b is an easy 15 minute walk from the train station, but taxis are available as well. A highly recommend this b&b and would definitely stay here again.
