O atendimento da Fauzia é espetacular, acolhendo e dando dicas que facilitaram a viagem, ajudando com o idioma, preparando um café/colação maravilhosa, todos os dias um quitute diferente. Fauzia fica a disposição no wats todo o tempo para o que precisarmos. Maravilha!!!
Além disso é muito perto da estação de trem e de fácil acesso aos pontos turísticos da cidade.

This is an excellent place to stay in Mantova. The hostess Fauza makes you feel welcome and at home, with her special treats for breakfast and warm manner.
The location is excellent for arriving and departing by train. Of course, the road outside is probably the one with the most traffic in town, but close the windows and shutters and you hardly hear anything. This can make it a bit stuffy at night, especially if you are more than one person in the room. For me it worked out fine, the bed is very comfortable and I slept well.
It's an easy walk to the centre of town and places of interest. Extremely good value for money.
The shower was spacious and comfortable, with a smart little shelf for keeping soap and shampoo. Just be aware that the drain doesn't work very well, water accumulates on the floor, so on my first shower I ended up flooding the floor. Once aware of this, it's easy to regulate so you can avoid this problem. The water pressure is good, and water temperature stable, so you can have a nice shower if you just watch out for the water level on the floor.

Fauzia has a very comfortable, clean and quiet accommodation. She also is an amazing host! Very friendly and helpful. She goes out of her way to give you a pleasant stay. Her breakfasts are awesome and her restaurant recommendations should be taken seriously.
Her location is very close to the train station which helps when one is arriving late and it’s close to a supermarket if you need to re-supply.
I was impressed on how quiet and comfortable the room was.
Don’t have really anything negative to say; maybe the walk to the city center is a little long - about 12 minutes. But it is an easy walk.

The property is only a few steps from the train station and while it’s on a busy road, once inside that’s not really noticeable. What makes Art&Books so special are the owners Fauzia and Mimmo! They are very proud of Mantua and fantastic ambassadors for their city. The hospitality is second to none! As a female solo traveller, I felt very well looked after. From an extensive breakfast which each morning included a couple of (often homemade) local delicacies, to excellent advice for sightseeing, They even offered to pick me up in the car during an unexpected downpour! Definitely recommend Art&Books to anybody visiting Mantua!

Simply one of the best the B&B, Great location literally just 30 seconds walk from the train station and about 10 minutes to the amazingly beautiful centre of Mantova. The room is modern, and very clean. Quiet on at night so easy to sleep, good a/c. The bathroom was spotless. Breakfast was delious and too plentiful for me. Though want really makes place special is the host Fauzia, incredibly friendly and will go above and beyond to help, with great information, helping with restaurants reservations, finding out the bus timetable etc. To having iron available to use. Can't wait to stay here again.
Leaving, I wish I could have stayed longer.

Fauzia is a wonderful host, she is very kind and helpful. Not just the wonderful breakfast, which has a nice variety of foods and drinks for anyone and a daily surprise of local, homemade foods, but her passion and very emphatic attitude made our stay very pleasant. When there was no information about a sight or the schedule of transportation, she made calls, and guided us what to do. She is very flexible and caring. There is a sign in the kitchen: the secret ingredient is love (or something similar) which is absolutely true.
If you want a nice local experience, I strongly suggest you to choose this place to stay.

Art & Books is a comfortable and welcoming B&B in a really convenient location, only metres from the railway station. It is spotlessly clean and has good air conditioning. Fauzia, the owner of the property, is very friendly and warm-hearted, and she is the main reason that we'll remember staying here. Her breakfasts are excellent, and every morning there are special surprises, which are both tasty and interesting! Her main concern is that her guests enjoy their stay, and nothing is too much trouble for her. If we return to Mantua, we'll certainly try to stay here, and we would wholeheartedly recommend this accommodation to others. Thanks again, Fauzia.
There is nothing that we disliked.

What a lovely place to stay - a proper B&B. Fauza was very welcoming, chatty and friendly. She gave us some great restaurant recommendations - one of the best meals I've had in Italy. The breakfast was lovely - all the usual Italian buffet options, plus a little local speciality to try - things I probably wouldn't have tried otherwise. The room was very nice, very comfortable bed, excellent bathroom. It's very close to the train station, which was perfect for us, and the driections were spot on. I noticed that if you're cycling Mimmo can help with bike problems and you can use the washing machine.

Excellent B&B in a central location right next to the train station with charming and helpful host Fauzia (who speaks excellent English). Lovely room, felt like home, with a nice newly renovated bathroom and a spacious nicely decorated room. The best part was the breakfast - a real treat, better than any breakfast I've ever had in Italy.
Mantua is a beatiful gem of a town away from the large tourist crowds but world-class attractions in the form of the Palazzo Ducale and Palazzo Te, as well as plenty of interesting architecture, grand churches and a beautiful "sister town" in Sabbioneta (together they form a UNESCO World Heritage) well-worth a day tour. Do visit Mantua and do stay at Art & Books B&B!

wonderful and caring host, great breakfast, good beds, shower and amenities very good, located very close to city center and just outside the central train station

Fauzia is a very personal host - we enjoyed the great service and care with attention to detail. The location is good - 1 min from the train station and 15 min walk through a nice, lively street with shops to the city centre. Also fairly close (10 min walk) to Palazzo Te.
All amenities were very clean and little complementary items were provided.
Breakfast was great, more than enough in a homely atmosphere with little Mantuan specialities that change everyday. Thanks for the great hospitality, Fauzia!

Compact but well equipped room. Slept very well. Amazingly friendly and caring hostess who provided surprising extras. Generous, delicious breakfast. Highly recommend.
A little more sitting area would be nice, but good use of available space.

We had a great time on Art & Books B&B. Is a family business and our hosts Fauzia and Mimmo are working hard on giving something more then just a clean room and breakfast. You can see this from every small detail. Even before arriving we receive complete information about museums, restaurants, boat companies. Then Fauzia called several restaurants to find for us an available table for dinner and lunch. The room is big, nice, quiet, very comfortable beds - slept like a baby. Big bathroom, sparkling clean. The breakfast is not only delicious but various, each day something different made by the host and also fresh and delicious Italian pastry. The location is just near the train station and is prefect to discover Mantova,
Everything was great!

everything. the room was great. bed was comfy. everything worked and the stay was comfortable. but the highlight of the stay is beyond the room. fauzia is amazing! she helped me book my pre departure covid test. also ensured I was taken care of. she responds to my queries within seconds. the breakfast is awesome and when I told her the food was too much, she suggested I pack the sandwiches and gave me a doggy bag! that saved my day when I was hungry on the train and saved me time to eat during my noon train schedule and sightsee right away in my next stop in Verona. In my three weeks stay in Italy this is the best, hands down!

Exceptionally kind owners, very clean and well equipped, generous breakfast, good internet, proximity to train station
The only frustration was finding it, while very close to the station, only tiny signage identifying the property.
