Fodor's Expert Review Maxxim Hotel
Via Ripagrande 21, Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna, 44121, Italy
Though given a stylish modern makeover, the courtyards, vaulted brick lobby, and breakfast room of this 15th-century palazzo retain much of their lordly Renaissance flair. Guest rooms are a little more down-to-earth, but standard doubles and some of the enormous bi- and tri-level suites have dark wooden floors, exposed roof beams, and cozy antique furniture. Top-floor rooms and suites—some with terraces—are roomy and especially good for families. Everything here, including room service, is impeccable. The location is quiet but fairly convenient.
PROS
- beyond-helpful staff
- good choice for families
- tasteful modern makeover
CONS
- split-level loft rooms impractical for some
- occasional noise from neighboring rooms
- some bathrooms are on the small side
