Welcome to Altana, the suite where the charm of Modena’s rooftops meets refined, theatrical, and surprisingly welcoming design. Located at Corso Canalchiaro 25, in Piazza Grande, inside the oldest and most artistically striking medieval building in the city, this residence is set on the third floor with no elevator and offers a truly distinctive stay. It is not just an apartment, but a small vertical journey through intimate atmospheres, quiet views, and scenic details that leave a lasting impression.

🏮 The Design: A Fusion Atmosphere of Charm and Wonder

The soul of the apartment reveals itself immediately: the leading feature is a strong visual identity built around a custom-designed wallpaper with a fusion-inspired mood, wrapping the space in a bold and recognizable character. Deep blue tones, decorative motifs with an oriental feel, illuminated niches, and playful objects create an environment that is theatrical yet warm, original yet never overwhelming.

Color contrasts: the rich blue walls interact with warm beige, crisp white structural elements, and rust-orange accents echoed in the headboard and reading chair. The result is a refined balance of bohemian charm, urban elegance, and comfort.

Refined details: the suite unfolds across multiple levels, with a compact yet striking living and dining area, a sleek contemporary kitchen, a signature blue refrigerator, decorative chandeliers, small curated collections displayed in lit niches, and a style that feels playful, sophisticated, and memorable. The property page itself describes the suite as “fusion,” bright during the day and magical at night thanks to the light effects created by illuminated niches and designer chandeliers.

🛌 The Sleeping Area: Intimate, Quiet, Suspended Above the Roofs

The sleeping area is perhaps the most evocative feature of Altana: intimate, original, and almost suspended in atmosphere. The double bed fits perfectly into a scenic and cozy setting enhanced by the sloped ceiling, skylights, decorative wallpaper, and a rare sense of quiet for a stay right in the historic center.

The apartment is described as bright by day, because it rises above the rooftops of the city, yet also extremely quiet at night, thanks to its view over an internal courtyard, where — as the site puts it — guests sleep “in the shadow of the moon and the Ghirlandina.” Completing the experience is a charming reading corner at the top of the roofs, which makes the suite feel even more unique and poetic. The accommodation is designed for 2 guests and includes 1 bedroom with a double bed, with a crib available upon request.

📍 Strategic Location and Atmosphere

Altana is set in one of the most fascinating locations one could ask for in Modena: Corso Canalchiaro 25, right in Piazza Grande, in the beating heart of the historic center. Staying here means experiencing the city from a privileged point of view, surrounded by medieval architecture, historic corners, restaurants, cafés, and the timeless charm of the UNESCO area centered around the Duomo and the Ghirlandina. It is the perfect choice for those who want to feel fully immersed in Modena while still enjoying the privacy of a secluded and character-filled retreat.

🚿 Comfort and Premium Services

Every detail has been designed to offer a stylish yet worry-free stay:

Fully equipped kitchen: dining table, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, induction hob, oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, Nespresso coffee machine, blender, cookware, tableware, wine glasses, and a champagne bucket.

Sleeping comfort and relaxation: orthopedic mattress, bed linen and blankets, four pillow options, blackout curtains, iron, storage space for clothing, HDTV, Wi-Fi, ethernet connection, a dedicated workspace, and a BOSE Bluetooth sound system.

Statement bathroom and wellness: the bathroom — as the page itself says — is the “flagship” of the suite: black, sprinkled with hidden tortellini motifs, enriched by a gold Art Deco mirror and a large shower with a crystal cascade designed to create a truly special atmosphere. It also includes a hairdryer, washing machine, cleaning products, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hot water.

Extra services: central air conditioning, central heating, indoor electric fireplace, private entrance to the building in the Limited Traffic Zone (it is not possible to issue access permits for vehicles), private patio or balcony, and paid parking nearby.

🍝 The “Tortellino Suite” Hospitality

As with all Tortellino Suites, hospitality is an essential part of the experience here as well. Guests are welcomed in person by the host, who is always available to recommend restaurants, guided city tours, culinary experiences, tastings, and hidden corners to enjoy like a true local. Altana is the ideal choice for those who want to sleep above the rooftops of Modena in a suite that is original, romantic, and full of personality, where each level reveals a different shade of the same enchantment.
