Welcome to La Cervetta, a beautiful residence located in the historic district of San Martino, in the heart of Mantua's old town. If you're looking for a bed and breakfast in Mantua, La Cervetta is the ideal solution for you: a comfortable accommodation, tastefully furnished and with an independent entrance.
La Cervetta is an ancient Gonzaga enterprise from the medieval period. Its name comes from the animal that represents it: the deer, a symbol of vigilance and protection against dangers. This animal has been depicted by great artists such as Andrea Mantegna in the famous Camera Picta of Palazzo Ducale, as a warning for a behavior worthy of a prince.
The La Cervetta residence is located in the medieval district of San Martino, in one of the buildings annexed to the eighteenth-century Palazzo Sordi. This central location guarantees our guests the possibility of comfortably visiting the city, but at the same time enjoying absolute tranquility and silence. The independent entrance is located on a characteristic medieval pedestrian passage called Vicolo Corridore.
La Cervetta has been carefully restored using original materials to recreate an elegant and antique-flavored environment. The furnishings, curated in every detail, offer guests a refined atmosphere of charm. The living area, the equipped kitchen, the large walk-in closet, the well-equipped bathroom, and the autonomous air conditioning are just some of the services that will make your stay comfortable and pleasant.
Luigino and Mara, the owners of La Cervetta, offer their guests valuable tips and useful information to discover Mantova in an interesting and enjoyable way. Mara is a licensed tour guide by the Lombardy Region and is passionate about art and history. Luigino is curious and dynamic and can suggest naturalistic excursions and enjoyable food and wine stops.
La Cervetta is an elegant and pleasant structure, ideal for appreciating the beauty of Mantova even more. Luigino and Mara traveled to Europe years ago and experienced the bed & breakfast concept, still unknown in Italy. They wanted to recreate the welcoming spirit of this form of hospitality in their structure, creating a gem after the renovation of an old building.
Mara and Luigino, both graduates and engaged in different professional activities, were fortunate to come across this beautiful opportunity. Mara, passionate about art and history, after a long teaching experience, works as a tour guide for the Lombardy Region. She can provide her guests with valuable tips and useful information to discover Mantova, such as historical-artistic itineraries of the city, exhibitions, and journeys to discover lesser-known places such as S. Benedetto in Polirone, Sabbioneta, and Alto Mantovano.
Luigino is a curious and dynamic man and can suggest naturalistic excursions such as Rivalta, Grazie, the Mincio Park, the Fontana Woods, and the Mantova_Peschiera cycle path. He can also recommend enjoyable food and wine stops to discover local products and cuisine.
In summary, La Cervetta is an ideal place to discover Mantova thanks to the valuable tips and useful information provided by its owners, Mara and Luigino.
