Location & what to see

Residenza Giulio Romano is located on Via Giulio Romano, right in the historic centre of Mantua, within the area recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The area is home to Renaissance palaces and small pedestrian streets connecting the city’s main squares, with cafés such as Caffè Mon Amì 150 metres away and restaurants and ice-cream shops just steps away, including Speedy’s Pizza and Gelateria Master Cream, both about 100-150 metres from the entrance.

Piazza delle Erbe, the heart of city life with its historic market, is about 800 metres away, while Palazzo Ducale, home to the famous Camera degli Sposi, is one kilometre away. Palazzo Te, the Renaissance masterpiece the property partly takes its name from, is reachable in about 750 metres on foot. Mantua Railway Station, with connections to Verona, Modena and Milan, is 1.2 km away, while Verona-Villafranca Airport is the nearest, about 26 km away.

Mantua can be comfortably explored on foot from here: besides the Gonzaga palaces, it’s worth a walk to the Rotonda di San Lorenzo, one of the city’s oldest Romanesque churches, and the Parco di Palazzo Te, ideal for an outdoor break. In summer, the lakes surrounding the historic centre offer cycling routes and tourist boat trips, while in winter the centre comes alive with Christmas markets in Piazza Sordello. For nature lovers, the Bosco della Fontana Nature Reserve is about 6.7 km away, ideal for a half-day trip out of town.
