We loved this 15th century palace with its grand entrance gates and sweeping courtyard with a “Giant Hercules gazing towards you as you enter. Our suite was spacious, well appointed and a welcome place in which to relax after wandering the university town of Padua. A large garden with lots of shady areas provided calm cool respite from the unseasonably hot weather. Breakfast, on the day we had it was generous and included dainty sandwiches served on pretty crockery, freshly cooked eggs on request and a fabulous moist cake, all served in a cool airy 1st floor space in the original building. Fascinated by the Palazzo’s history and that of the man who had it constructed, we visited an exhibition housing some of his art collection at the nearby Liviano Palace which was well worth the 3 euro entry fee. We visited Padua after a recommendation from an Italian working in the Bulgari Hotel in Tokyo, Japan who was born there. With lots to see and hear - there is a music school nearby and we were treated to arias and bassoon practise whilst nibbling delicious pizzette and sipping a cold beer in the cafe on the cobbled street below - Padua is a great place to visit and Palazzo Mantua Benavides is a great place to stay if you do.

beautiful

Unique property with loads of character, quiet and well located to the train station, congress centre and Scrovegni Chapel. My second time here.

Great location. You can drive up and park right at the hotel entrance which is a plus.

Very clean, staff was helpful, nice private garden to walk in, lots of private space. A little difficult to find initially, when we walked up, but that was figured out quickly. Will stay here again.

i love the property

Mosquitoes, stench from bathroom pipes, strong perfumes, and poor WiFi.

Staying at Mantua Benavides was the best decision we made in Padova. The place was gorgeous. The room was enormous. Comfortable bed. A large interesting garden and an important sculpture on the grounds. I felt like renaissance nobility. The staff was super-helpful with restaurants, taxis, and general questions. Everything in Padova is exactly a 14-min walk from Palazzo Mantua Benavides. I would stay here again anytime. A lovely 4 days!

A unique grand mews property. Well equipped and tastefully decorated. The Celeste suite is lovely with a separate seating area and kitchenette. Sorry i couldn't stay longer.

It's actually a palace, with huge rooms. Very impressed. Rooms are clean and comfortable. It's walkable 10m from the train station and the city centre. Next door to the main attraction in padua.
