  An exceptional stay with an exceptional host!

  Liked: Fabrizia was a joy and she went over and above to ensure that everything was perfect for my stay. Her breakfasts were exceptional, everything freshly prepared and every day different and interesting items, and most importantly at least one, if not several specialties of Mantua. Also very good was her advice on places to see and there were plenty of informative brochures about Mantua, and that is without the huge library kept for guests alone. So many thoughtful extras made this a very special place to stay.

  Disliked: Getting over the road to Art and Books was a bit tricky but, with patience, drivers would give way. However it was very convenient to be hard by the railway station.

  Unforgettable lovely and welcoming B&B

  Liked: I'm writing this review in English so that many people can read it (without translation). It's not really possible to write a review here without repeating (or copying & pasting?;-)) what so many others have already written here. I'll try it anyway: The location is excellent, just next to the train station. The historical city centre and everything worth seeing of this beautiful town is in walking distance. The room was clean, beautifully furnished and decorated. There are really nice paintings and practical things like a minibar fridge, a kettle with accessories, and a jar full of goodies. The bathroom was nice and has everything you require. The room had a nice balcony facing a busy street, but with the windows closed you don't hear anything. Most pleasant about this B&B and my stay there is the hostess Fauzia. She makes you feel welcome from the first moment, prepared a delicious breakfast with a large variety of items such as home made cakes, prepared and seasoned vegetables, etc. Every morning, the breakfast was different, and she also catered for individual needs (as I'm a vegetarian). She also explained the recipies in great detail. You can't imagine a better host. She's a very warm character, very talkative, and makes you feel like you are a part of her family. You easily forget you're actually in a paid accommodation. For me, this was also very nice because the main reason of me travelling to Italy is to use and practice my Italian. I'm looking forward to my next trip to Mantova. Fauzia is reason enough to come back.

  Disliked: Unfortunately, the accomodation is on the first floor without a lift. But Fauzia kindly asked her son to bring my suitcase upstairs for me. So, this wasn't a problem for me at all.

  FANTASTIC!!!!!!

  Liked: I sincerely recommend the Art&Books bnb. Our stay there was perfect in every way. Very good location. Nice, very clean, well-equipped room. Very rich and delicious breakfasts prepared by the fantastic hostess Fauzia, who prepares different surprises every day. Fauzia is a wonderful, warm woman who treats her guests like family members and will help with anything she can. It's a pity that you can only give 10/10, because she deserves much more. By choosing Art&Books you are making the best choice. Fauzia is the best hostess you could ever dream of. I will probably come back to Mantova and definitely to this bnb.

  Disliked: Nothing, everything was perfect.

  A warm and welcoming stay

  Liked: Fauzia is a warm and welcoming host who takes great care to look after her guests. The rooms are spacious, clean and well maintained. The breakfasts are generous and always varied, a nice touch. We very much enjoyed our stay here and can highly recommend it.

  Disliked: Nothing really. The appearance of the outside of the building would benefit from improvement but that doesn’t detract from the standard of accommodation provided.

  Very nice and clean rooms, good location, great owner and fantastic breakfast:))

  Liked: Very nice place to stay! The owner Fauzia is a very nice person, talkative, kind and helpful. And breakfast which she prepared was just amazing and more than you can usually expect in Italy - tea, coffee, juices, bread, ham, cheese, yogurt, jam, nutella, fruit... and lot of cakes, some of them home made and tasted amazing:)) After 2 nights we were leaving before 6am in the morning, and Fauzia even prepared a nice breakfast "to go" for us:)) Don't be alarmed with ugly old building and busy street with a train station there, rooms inside are very nice and you can't here any noice. Also city center is very close, up to 20 minutes by walk and it's soooo nice, you need to see Basilica di Sant'Andrea inside! We came to Mantova for Il Volo concert in Palazzo Te which was also 20 minutes by walk, so this place was really very convenient for us. Fully reccomended! Fauzia, thanks for everything, for a fantastic breakfast and for all your advices:))
