THE BEST REVIEW

A jewel in the crown of Italy: This majestic castle is adorned with magnificent pieces of art including the fascinating Roman Sculptures. The place is enormous, and every part of it, from the museum to the mansion is well-worth a visit. The room of the newlyweds which is frescoed by Mantegna is breathtaking. Highly recommended for the admirers of beauty and elegance.

THE BEST REVIEW

Ideal Place : We were amazed at the stunning paintings, fabrics and sculpture. This is a remarkable place to visit. One suggestion: the palace is so large and there is so much to see that it is worth splitting up the visit and perhaps taking a cafe or restaurant break half way through. This is perfectly possible as there are different buildings with separate entrances so visitors can come and go freely.

THE BEST REVIEW

Can't Ask For More : It is accessed through the various rooms on the first floor of Palazzo Giardino. Even if the works of art by Vespasiano Gonzaga are no longer present, the charm of this peculiar area of the building remains unchanged. Particularly noteworthy is the perspective effect that can be appreciated on the shorter sides of the salon. Naturally Recommended.

The Galleria degli Antichi and the Palazzo del Giardino are adjacent, contemporaneous, Renaissanc... [..]

Interesting history behind the tower: A medieval tower has a rich history and was damaged in a recent earthquake. They have very recently reopened the interiors of the tower after restoration.

Beautiful Place : Lovely staff and great food. I had the pumpkin tortellini and would recommend it to others. They offered me a complementary Sbrisolona at the end which I thought was a lovely gesture to please the guest. Great place indeed, recommended.

A Must Visit : You cannot come to Mantova without taking the time to visit the basilica di Sant'Andrea. The decoration and frescoes inside literally took my breath away. The building looks amazing from the outside and is stunningly beautiful inside. Great place indeed.
