This historic, fully air-conditioned hostel used to be an ancient palace belonging to a noble family of the 18th century. Today it has been fully renovated: all the rooms and the communal areas of the building offer a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere, where past and present merge effortlessly. The hotel's discreet, refined furnishings blend perfectly with the eighteenth century surroundings. Guests may make use of the conference facilities, TV room and reading room, bar, WLAN in the entire hotel and internet point (free), internal courtyard with garden and private car park (available only if there are vacancies at arrival time, it is not possible to book parking in advance). The hostel offers 34 rooms in total and has a lobby with 24-hour reception, safe, lift access and guests can make use of a room and laundry service for a fee or also hire bikes to explore the surrounding area. There is even a 60-seat chapel, which Count Galletti Abbiosi dedicated to the Greek Virgin, patron Saint of Ravenna.
Ravenna is a treasure chest overflowing with art, history and culture of the highest order, a city with ancient origins and a glorious past. Ravenna has served as a capital city three times: of the Western Roman Empire, of the Ostrogothic Kingdom of Italy and of the Byzantine Empire in Europe. The hostel is located in the historical centre of Ravenna, very close to one of the most renowned sites, the Basilica of Saint Apollinare Nuovo. Many of the other monuments are of prime historical and artistic importance, and, just like the main railway station, are just a stone's throw away. The hostel lies about 20 km away from Forlì airport and can be easily reached by taxi or by bus to Ravenna railway station and then a short walk.
