We accidentally booked here, thinking it was closer to Verona. It is 20 km away from Mantova - another 20 km away from Verona. However, we discovered the gem of city Montova ( voted the #1 most livable in Italy) and the gem of EDEN hotel : room, service, bkfst, staff were excellent! The sighseeing into Mantova was difficult because the trains service this quaint village occasionally. We had to rely on taxis in order to get in a full day. Suggestion: have the hotel arrange taxis. whenever they called a taxi - we were charged 27 Euros. Otherwise, we paid 40 Euros for same ride into Mantova.
