Mantua
users 2 bed 1 bath 1

Who doesn't dream of living in an Art Gallery, especially a 500-year-old Palazzo in Italy. 

The Palazzo was built at the end of the 15th century by Alessio Beccaguti, a very successful military commander and civil engineer. At that time, Mantua was ruled by Francesco II Gonzaga, a time when Italy was as prosperous in the arts as it was politically divided. 

At the beginning of the 2000s, the Palazzo was completely renovated by the current owners, Architect Massimo Ghisi and his wife Vanna Bernardelli. They have transformed this ancient palazzo into a home, architecture studio Disegno, and art gallery. They personally took care of the renovation and design, down to the very last detail. The quality is truly outstanding. The aim of the design of the Palazzo is to live in direct contact with the artworks and with as little furniture as possible. Staying here is a profoundly unique experience! Once or twice a year they open their private art collection to the public, making the Palazzo an inspiring and constantly changing meeting place for artists and art lovers.

The Space 

The property consists of two units that can be rented separately together. The Gallery suite is for two people, beautifully furnished with contemporary art. A bright and spacious space that houses a kitchenette, dining area, sleeping area, and bathroom overlooking the courtyard of honor. The design furniture is enriched with contemporary works of art. Located in one of the oldest streets in the heart of the historic center from which you can visit the city simply on foot.

Guests will be welcomed by a designated person who will give all the useful information to get to know the house, the city, and all the artistic and cultural initiatives available.
