Expert Review of EuropaTravel Review of Europa
This is the leading moderately priced choice in town. In the 1600s, this palace was built near the Castello d'Estense. It was transformed into one of the most prestigious hotels in town in 1861, but during World War II, portions of the rear were bombed and then repaired in a less grandiose style. The government-rated three-star place continues today, with a well-trained staff, reasonable prices, and guest rooms that are clean and comfortable, with antique furnishings and modern comforts. A handful of rooms overlook the corso (they retain ceiling frescoes from the original construction). The bathrooms are small.

In the last years Hotel Europa has been completely restored and equipped with the most up-to-date comforts, without giving up its old style and own tradition. You can breathe the allure of the distinguished past of this mansion in the rooms that face the main street of the city and in the completely frescoed drawing-room suite where you can admire some precious paintings; among them the picture of Napoleon and Josephine, that is said to be the Emperor's gift to the owner to thank him for Read complete descriptionAmenities
