Luxury Independent hotels in Modena, Italy

Loved it. Upsides, great staff, particularly the brilliantly named Francesca Ferrari), great spa, great chef. Downside, a tad quiet at night. I would heartily recommend this place

The hotel was pleasant and although we had heavy suitcases the staff were very obliging and the porter helped us to the room on the fifth floor. The restaurant was very expensive and we decided to eat in the town but despite walking round for well over an hour we could not find anywhere reasonable to eat and asked in a bar. We were recommended a restaurant which, when we eventually found it, turned out also to be attached to a hotel and was also very expensive. That evening we ended up eating at a pizzeria - not a very good one - a rather greasy pizza which was just okay. The following day we asked in the tourist office and were recommended a resaurant and that evening had one of the best meals we have eaten in Italy.
