A Corte Posta
Welcome to our accommodation, an ancient "Posta" which was once a horse exchange station for travelers in the 18th century. This historic building has been passed down from generation to generation and we are committed to maintaining it in the best possible way, offering you a warm and sincere welcome.
The house is characterized by the presence of a large nail fixed in one of the wooden beams, probably used to hang horse harnesses. Its location, at the intersection of two important roads, confirms its historical origin as a horse exchange station.
"A Corte Posta" is located northeast of Mantua, just 2 km from the historic center, which can be easily reached from the Mantova Nord exit of the A22 highway. The location of the property is perfect for those who love art and history, as Mantua is a city born from the waters of the Mincio River and has become one of the main centers of the Italian and European Renaissance thanks to the Gonzaga family. Our accommodation is also ideal for cyclists, who will find a safe shelter for their bike, as carriages and "birocin" were once parked.
The view of Mantua is one of the most beautiful in Italy and will accompany you during your entrance into the ancient city, after crossing the fortress of "Sparafucile" and the bridge of San Giorgio. This small city is famous for its great historical and food and wine tradition, which varies from one village to another and is constantly working to become more sustainable. Don't miss the opportunity to visit Mantua and stay in our cozy "Corte Posta"!
At our accommodation, on the ground floor, there is a large dining room available for guests where you can enjoy a delicious sweet Italian breakfast every morning from 8:30 am to 9:30 am. It will be a pleasant moment to start the day with energy and to taste the typical flavors of our country. We invite you to let us know in advance if you have any special needs or dietary restrictions so that we can fulfill your requests as best as possible.

My name is Teresa, and I was actually born in this house, which is a part of me. Maybe not everyone will like it, but for me, every corner and every room holds an indelible memory in my heart. My husband Cesare and my daughter Marta also help me, especially during breakfast time, when she is at home.
A few decades ago, our home was surrounded by the countryside and just a short car or horse ride away from the historic center of beautiful Mantua, a treasure trove of art and surprises. Nowadays, we are surrounded by shopping centers and a neighborhood called "Lunetta," even a McDonald's. Looking positively at progress, we have everything we need, from cinemas to supermarkets and shops, as well as the historic center. However, perhaps we preferred the countryside!
