We were in Italy for three weeks & stayed in 11 different hotels located in different cities/towns, & we both liked Ferrara the best, even though we dinged our rental car in the small alley where this charming B&B is located. Pietro is the owner, & we will never forget his charm & graciousness. He bought this property about a generation ago when he was a young man in his 20s, & renovated it into a B&B. Our room was very cute & accommodating. In order to fit a bathroom onto this room, Pietro had to build out into the alley & suspend the bathroom over what was once a little stairway leading down into the alley. The toilet is in a corner with a ceiling that makes it challenging for grown men to use standing up (esp. at night in the dark), if you know what I mean. We had the best coffee of our entire trip here, because Pietro is a coffee aficionado & buys the best & prepares it himself as an aficionado does. The entire breakfast was spectacular. Pietro makes jams from local fruits, & his mother & sister make the pastries. The B&B is located a short walk to a fantastic little restaurant called Osteria del Ghetto. Ferrarese cuisine. We had homemade ravioli & the salama da sugo, a classic Ferrara dish made with Ferrara salami. Absolutely delicious, & the restaurant owner & chef were just as charming as Pietro. I would go back to Ferrara again, & if we do, we will stay at Pietro's little B&B.
