Da Selly is a bed and breakfast overlooking the historic center of Mantua, just 500 meters from the Cathedral and Palazzo Ducale, in one of the liveliest and most popular areas of the Lombard city.

Several options also feature air conditioning, a useful comfort during Mantua’s summer months.
Guests have access to free WiFi, a bicycle rental service for exploring the city, and tours dedicated to local culture. Pets are allowed at no extra charge. The central location allows guests to reach the Rotonda di San Lorenzo, Piazza delle Erbe and Palazzo Te on foot, and is particularly loved by couples, who gave it a score of 9.5 for a stay for two.
