Our Story
I built this palazzo not as a place for travelers to sleep, but as a place for the weary to remember why life is beautiful.
A Palace Reborn
Nestled in the heart of Padova's historic quarter, Palazzo Sera began its life as the private residence of Count Alesso Sera, a patron of the arts whose salons drew poets, painters, and philosophers from across Europe.
In 2006, the Sera family undertook a meticulous five-year restoration, engaging master artisans to preserve the original frescoes, terrazzo floors, and hand-carved stone balustrades while introducing the quiet luxuries of modern hospitality. Every room is a conversation between centuries.
Today, with just twenty-four rooms, Palazzo Sera remains one of Italy's most intimate and storied addresses — a place where history is not displayed but lived.
