Set in a Renaissance palazzo in central Modena, this luxurious bolthole combines modern and antique furnishings, and has a selection of spacious room and suites (the Royal has a beautiful frescoed ceiling) with smart marble bathrooms. The feeling of being secreted away in an exclusive, tranquil retreat is enhanced by the top-notch service and facilities for both eating and pampering.
In a calm location within easy walking distance of Modena's main tourist attractions, this hotel housed in an old palazzo has plenty of old-world character in the form of antique paintings, fancy plasterwork, and trompe l’oeil in the public rooms. Rooms are clean and come in varying sizes, and there is a terrace with tables and chairs and spacious gardens to relax in. The elegant restaurant La Secchia Rapita provides traditional local dishes and attentive service, while wide-ranging buffet breakfasts are served in the vaulted cellar.
