Decided to head 'off the beaten path' and spend a couple of days in Ferarra as a kickoff for our weeklong Italy tour.....Booked Piazza Nova Guest House based on TripAdvisor reviews.....The Guest House and hosts exceeded all of our expectations.....Ruggiero was a great host, recommended places to go (and stay away from) and met us on our arrival. We stayed... More

We spent two nights here on our way from Napoli to Venice. Ruggerio was wonderful and his parents were gracious and very helpful. Our room was spotless, the breakfast was superb, and we were extremely comfortable. It is easy to get from the train station to the guest house and Ferrara doesn't require a car. I hope to return to... More

The guest house is absolutley amazing and the staff is even better. The staff is very friendly and makes you feel like you are home. Super clean, very homely apartments that walking distance to lots of restaurants, train station, and lots of sights and wonderful Ferrara. You are making a mistake if you go to Ferrara and stay anywhere else. More

We stayed here based on the reviews on Trip Advisor, and so glad we chose this compared to a hotel. This has to be one of the best B&B/self catering places we have ever stayed. The owners (and their parents) are fantastic hosts and the breakfasts are great. They help out whenever needed (but are never intrusive), and even make... More

We stayed in the spacious loft room. Great location, best breakfasts we had in Italy! Clean and very comfortable. Ruggerio was extremely helpful in ensuring we enjoyed our stay there. He gave excellent recommendations for restaurants in Ferrara, including discounts. Piazza Nova is a great value in a unique city. More

I loved staying at Piazza Nova. My room had lovely old furniture and was warm and spacious with lots of natural light. I thought it was decorated very tastefully. The kitchen was new and well equipped. Ruggero and Emmanuela were so kind and welcoming, They let me speak in my broken Italian, recommended restaurants, and took me to and from... More

My husband and I stayed here for 8 nights in October as I was exhibiting artwork in Ferrara. We completely loved this guesthouse, the room upstairs at the top was just fantastic, our home away from home. Located a short walk from town we thoroughly enjoyed exploring Ferrara from this little gem. Any hotel can be nice but what sets... More

We had a very pleasant stay at Piazza Nova. Best of all the good things to say about Piazza Nova is the warm and enthusiastic hospitality of Ruggero and Emanuela. Ruggero met us at the train station and pointed out sights in the city as we drove along. Emanuela we found to be as charming and friendly as Ruggero. This... More

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms as the website photos do not do them justice. But there's nothing like the quality of service. Ruggero and Emanuela go out of their way to help their guests, provide fantastic breakfasts that include cakes baked by Ruggero's father, and were happy to recommend where to go for whatever we wanted to...
