Mantova Independent Hotels & Suites

A comfortable hotel oputside Mantova but easy enough to get into the centre by car. Got the impression that it was nore a commercial hotel than a tourist one. Nevertheless it suited us well. The room was very comfortable and the staff very helpfuil giving us directions, bopoking restaurants etc. Rather poor breakfast rather let them down.

We were looking for a hotel that would be convenient to Cremona, but not in the city. We decided to stay at Hotel Gambara. It was a terrific decision. Gambara is approximately 30 minutes northeast of Cremona. Mariuccia, the proprietor of the hotel, is an elegant, funny, and welcoming host. Even if the hotel itself had not been a pleasure, the stay would have been worth it just to meet her. I suppose one could say that the hotel is a little past its prime, but that would miss the point. This is an authentic experience, in a convenient jumping-off point to a city well worth visiting – Cremona (which has a fantastic new violin museum). The hotel, which is very comfortable, also has easy access to a wonderful restaurant just down the road called the Stella. The food was excellent and the staff could not have been nicer. We were very glad that we stopped in this wonderful little hotel.

I was exploring small Italian cities--towns. I was told Montova, which was a little of the beaten path, was worth visiting and it was, certainly for two days. This hotel is a little hidden but very private, quiet and wonderful in its own way yet close to everything.

Simple farm accommodations, well-manicured, in a lovely setting. The local food experience was superb, and our hosts very considerate, gracious and accommodating. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing experience without the commercial hub-bub.

We stayed one night in Manova at this beautiful B&B. The furnishings in the large room and bathroom were stylish and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent, good WiFi reception and the young and attractive owners were extremely accommodating, although they spoke little English. Free indoor parking was a real nice perk. Our room faced the street, but we closed the shutters and the solidly-built windows, and noise was not a problem. I would recommend that all travelers do as we do and always have earplugs available. The B&B is located outside the traffic restricted zone (very important), but only a short walk to the sights. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay. Anna is an outstanding hostess and her breakfasts are wonderful. We really felt at home. Getting into town is pretty easy. Return a bit more cumbersome, and the only reason I didn't give it five stars. Mantova is a jewel. Be sure to visit the Palazzo Te.

A good modern hotel, with clean crisp rooms and good plumbing. Very good breakfast. Super-friendly and helpful staff, who all speak excellent English.
