Expert Review of Europa

Travel Review of Europa

By Travel Expert: Content by Frommers
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.

Star Rating: 0 (Frommer's Recommended)

Description: 
"The prime Hotel Europa erected by Signa family gave hospitality in 1861 to the future Kings of Italy and Spain, Umberto the First and Amedeo di Savoia; in 1866 to Prince Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte and in may 1872 to the Prince of Italian Harmony, Giuseppe Verdi." Taken from an authoritative historical work.

In Ferrara Hotel Europa is located in an old palace in the heart of the Estensi city. The 1944 bombardment damaged irreparably just some frescoed ceilings; others kept miraculously intact. 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
