Situated in the heart of the historical centre of Ferrara is the Duchessa Isabella, near the piazza where the traditional palio is held. Nothing in the austere Renaissance architecture suggests the luxury and sumptuous interior design that awaits guests. A blaze of stuccos, frescoes and gilding adorn the splendid salons that meet up at a monumental and spectacular staircase. Characterised by the names of flowers, the bedrooms have antiques furniture, valuable rugs, Murano chandeliers and period paintings. Dotted around the common areas are antique clocks that are part of the owners' family collection. The restaurant offers quality regional cuisine while in a corner of the garden is a small delicatessen, a place where gourmets can enjoy a bite to eat while admiring hams and "culatello". For those in a romantic mood, the hotel also offers a traditional carriage to take them round the city.
