Casaforte La Bastide is a beautifully restored medieval home set in the lovely countryside just outside Ferrara. It is an ideal place to stay while visiting Ferrara. What better way to discover the historical city than stay in a historical mansion? The mansion retains much of its original medieval structure while being tastefully decorated with antique furniture which enhance the ambiance all the while providing very modern comforts. We stayed in the Secret Suite which was large, warm and very characteristic. The bed, pillows and blankets were extremely comfortable, allowing for a good night's rest. We really enjoyed having breakfast in the dining hall. An abundant breakfast was prepared for us by Thomas which included eggs, fresh pastries, bread, yogurt, cold cuts, cheese and biscuits. There was a ample selection of tea, coffee and juice. As amazing as the location was, what made the stay even more incredible was the hospitality of the owners and of Thomas. They really made us feel at home!
