“An unexpected enjoyable stay”

We went to Mantova for the literature festival and we booked very late. There wasn't a lot available at affordable prices for our dates. We didn't know quite what to expect from the Corte Virgiliano and upon arrival, we were a little worried because the Country house is practically a cow farm. When we met the owner, Nicoletta and saw our apartment we cheered up. The apartment was all newly refurbished and a bright and sunny yellow! The bedroom was nice and big with old fashioned furniture but well kept and the mattresses on the bed were new and extremely comfortable. The bathroom was very nice, all newly done and the kitchen was very cute and functional. The windows looked out on to corn fields and at night it was very quiet. The apartments are next to the main house which is in a blocked off area next to the cow farm. Every now and then, when outside you do smell cows but not in the apartment. There's plenty of parking in front of the premises and a lovely large garden with lounge chairs. It's exactly a 10 minute drive into Mantova. Nicoletta suggested a few places to eat and one in particular is very nearby where the food was excellent. I would stay here again.
