"We arrived early for 3pm check in and were able to stow our bags. We booked a second room for a friend travelling with us and they were right next door. Beautiful graceful 17th century cardinal’s palace, lovingly preserved. Rooms comfortable, we had a window opening on to a courtyard. AC which we switched off at night. Very quiet at night - unlike other places I have stayed where recycling of bottles seems to happen at 2am. Bathroom has bidet as standard (should be standard everywhere!). Fantastic hot and cold breakfast served buffet style with table on the terrace outside. Water, juice and tea/coffee available 24hrly in the lobby.Staff friendly and helpful. Very well situated 5 minute walk from main Modena piazza, 2 minutes from opera house and close to restaurants. 18 minute walk from railway station. Lovely route to green park for jogging behind hotel. Would definitely stay again."
