Description Video
Located in the heart of Mantova, the Painter's House is a charming example of historic architecture dating back to the second half of the 1400s, originally part of the government palace at the port of the Chain, belonging to a branch of the historic Gonzaga/Canossa family. Today, after a meticulous renovation undertaken in 1972 by Osvaldo Trombini, a painter-restorer, the building welcomes guests in an environment that combines art and comfort.

The structure offers cozy rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom, and is divided into three levels. On the first floor is the Green Room, while the evocative Red and Yellow Rooms extend to the second floor, allowing for an exclusive view of the historic neighborhood. The ground floor houses the Blue Room, an accessible micro-apartment overlooking an art gallery accessible to all. Each room is equipped with WiFi, air conditioning, heating, and mosquito nets, ensuring guests a pleasant and relaxed stay.

The common areas stand out for their elegance and functionality, with a cozy loft living room, a stunning terrace, and a dining room where an Italian breakfast is served every morning. Guests can indulge in artisanal treats such as pastries, cookies, homemade jams, and fresh bread, alongside Espresso coffee, cappuccino, and various kinds of tea. For those with specific dietary needs, a specific selection is available that takes food intolerances into account.

The Painter's House is situated in a strategic location, just a few steps from Palazzo Te and Palazzo Ducale, both easily reachable on foot. The Fiera Catena neighborhood, rich in typical trattorias and local shops, offers a lively authentic atmosphere away from tourist routes. Guests can explore the culinary traditions of the area and discover snapshots of everyday life in Mantova.

With a passion for art and architecture, Virginia and Stefano, father and daughter, are ready to welcome visitors, sharing with them not just a place to stay, but also a piece of Mantova's cultural history. The Painter's House is more than just accommodation, it is an invitation to immerse oneself in the beauty and charm of a city rich in history.

I rented a studio based on the property's beautiful photos and reviews, but in reality I found myself in a shed/warehouse in the courtyard converted into a room, with iron windows that were freezing (no insulation), a makeshift tiny kitchen and a windowless, very cold bathroom. Since it was New Year's Eve, in the middle of winter, it was not very comfortable; so we spent the first booked night there and preferred to leave on the second. We did not use any of the spaces shown in the photos (perhaps on the upper floor), which was one of the reasons I had chosen the B&B. Nothing to say about the host and cleanliness.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno, Mi avete comunicato che siete andati via perche è venuta la febbre, non perché c'erano dei problemi con il riscaldamento. Mi spiace per la vostra esperienza. Il monolocale è molto facile da riscaldare con i termosifoni. E se si gradisce più caldo c'è anche la pompa di calore con telecomando in camera. Avevate il mio numero di telefono, mi avete contattato per altre info, potevate dirmi che avevate freddo e avrei aiutato per spiegarvi come si accende la pompa di calore. Le foto presenti nei siti sono le foto di tutta la struttura, dal piano terra, dov'è situato lo studio blu (non era un magazzino, ero uno studio, come descritto). Al primo piano e al secondo. Mi spiace per la vostra esperienza Virginia.

The best bed and breakfast in Mantua, with its history, atmosphere, and attention to every little detail. The antique interiors are extremely beautiful. Everything is very comfortable, and the staff is always available. I will recommend it to all my friends and hope to stay there again next time in Mantua.

The Casa del Pittore is a quiet space in the heart of Mantua. In the courtyard, you can breathe air impregnated with art and history: contemporary art because the grandfather of the current owners was a painter (his paintings are on display in the accommodations) and Renaissance history because the walls of the house are adorned with ancient frescoes, as it was once the residence of a branch of the Gonzaga family. Virginia, the painter's granddaughter, and her father welcome you in this unique and familiar atmosphere where you feel totally relaxed and at home. My daughter and I stayed in the micro-apartment on the ground floor and we were independent for outings and meal consumption: an excellent solution for the current period.
stayed from 02/21/2021 to 02/24/2021
