Former Formula 1 driver Marc Gené is set to play host as he takes guests on a thrilling lap around the Pista di Fiorano in a Ferrari 296GTB, but reservations are limited. Airbnb’s new “Icons” series, launched on May 1, offers guests the chance to stay at nearly a dozen iconic locations worldwide.
From Prince’s Purple Rain house in Minneapolis to Marvel’s X-Mansion in Westchester, New York, there’s no shortage of extraordinary choices. Among them, the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, Italy, stands out.
For any self-proclaimed member of the Tifosi, visiting the Ferrari Museum is a momentous occasion. But spending the night there is an unparalleled experience. Guests won’t be relegated to sleeping on cots in hallways; this is a top-tier experience befitting the Ferrari legacy.
Hosted by former racing driver Marc Gené, who boasts a Formula 1 career with Minardi and Williams, along with years as an F1 test driver for Ferrari, guests will enjoy an exclusive hot lap around Ferrari’s Fiorano test track in the acclaimed Ferrari 296GTB, the reigning Performance Car of the Year winner by Road & Track.
The package also includes VIP tickets granting access to the 2024 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix’s exclusive paddock area and dinner at Ristorante Cavallino, once Enzo Ferrari’s dining spot and now adorned with Ferrari’s historic memorabilia. But the Ferrari adventure doesn’t end there.
Guests will receive a private tour of the Ferrari Museum and spend the night on a bed crafted from the same red leather used in Ferrari car seats, surrounded by historic race cars and the 110 elite trophies they’ve earned. Requests to book this extraordinary experience will open on May 6 and close at 11:59 p.m. PT on May 8. While requesting a booking is free, an Airbnb account and the app are required. Best of luck to all requesting entry, and enjoy the unforgettable stay.
