Palazzo Arrivabene B&B

To begin Claudio and his mother Signora Luciana are high stature people and their B&B reflects this. She is charming, an absolute delight and he is very resourceful and they both insure you'll have a most pleasant stay. Traveling across smaller towns in Italy for several weeks, this was the highlight! Their place is warm and historically charming, an unforgettable experience. Is there a nicer B&B in Italy? (not that we've found(

On our recent trip through Italy, staying at the Palazzo Arrivabene far stands out as the best hotel experience, we stayed at! Upon arrival we were overwhelmed with the beauty and elegance of the restored Palazzo of which there are common rooms, and a balcony is which you are invited and encouraged to sit and use on your own. Our room was quiet, comfortable and very clean. The owner, Signora Luciana and her son, Claudio though are the heart of this establishment. Rarely have I been so received with such a warm and elegant welcoming! At breakfast in the morning Signora Luciana herself was present making sure we had everything we needed and even sharing some of her recipes with other guests. Claudio personally made a phone call for me to arrange a meeting with a mutual friend who lives in Mantova. I encourage anyone considering staying here or even making a trip to Mantova to decide to do it and stay at this establishment you will not be disappointed and pleased that you did. A word of warning is that this Palazzo does have some stairs but if possible and you can manage them it is well worth it! Siga Luciana .... la ringrazio e mi sento che dopo averla incontrata ho una nuova amica a Mantova.

The Palazzo Arrivabene is a unique and exceptional property. Staying there felt like living in a grand palace. We were welcomed and treated like friends instead of guests. The interior is gorgeous. In addition to our spacious bedroom, we were able to use the living areas as though they were our own. We can't wait to return.

My wife and I stayed here last Thu and Fri. Everything the most recent reviews said is absolutely correct...a truly beautiful house....an elegant and engaging hostess...great location.The room we stayed in was very well proportioned.Would strongly recommend.

This wonderful Palazzo built in the 1500's is full of antiquity and charm. Beautiful rooms finely decorated, frescos and old paintings on the walls, and grand staircases. Four levels of stately elegance--extra large rooms beautifully furnished. Bathrooms are modern and function perfectly. WiFi was great but there are no TV's and no elevators, so be prepared to climb a few stairs. Caudio was great and very very helpful, and his gracious mother prepares the beautiful Italian style breakfasts in the lovely old dining room. Located just on the edge of old town and only a short walk to the main square of Muldova. Public parking is convenient and a close walk. You will not regret your stay here!!

Con amici abbiamo soggiornato una sola notte in questa dimora storica. Siamo stati accolti da una elegante, squisita ed appassionata padrona di casa ed abbiamo vissuto in un palazzo storico bellissimo. Saloni eleganti dove sorseggiare una tisana od un buon whisky leggendo un libro, camere da letto sontuose. Colazione molto gradevole. Affascinante.
