The Ferrari Museum is now an Airbnb

Pit Stops

May 6

You could spend a night with a whole stable of Italian stallions thanks to a unique offer from Airbnb - but you’ll need to be as fast as a Formula 1 driver to catch it.

The Ferrari Museum is now listed as one of Airbnb’s Icons collection, with F1 test pilot Marc Gené as the host. For one night only on 19 May a special bed made from the same leather as Ferrari seats will be installed in the trophy room at the Marenello museum and two lucky tifosi will get to bed down among Ferrari’s 110 awards and the race cars that won them.

They will also get a VIP trip to cheer Ferrari on at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, have dinner at Cavallino where Enzo Ferrari used to eat, receive a private tour of the museum and hot laps of the Fiorano circuit, with Gené at the wheel of a Ferrari 296 GTB.

What’s more the whole incredible experience will be free of charge. The booking window is open from 6-8 May only and guests will be selected by Airbnb at random then whittled down after answering a short questionnaire about their fondness for Ferrari.
