Comic book fans will be able to sleep over in the X-Men mansion and Pixar devotees can stay at the house from UP.

But for motor nuts there can only be one destination.

The site is now offering a night at Ferrari’s Maranello factory in collaboration with the Italian supercar brand.

Hosted by Ferarri ambassador and test driver Marc Gené, the rare insider access promises a night like no other.

Up to two guests will be able to stay in a custom bedroom designed specially for the trip.

Dubbed the “room of victory”, it features black walls and flooring contrasted with a Ferrari red queen-sized bed in the centre.

Around this, perched on a sloping display plinth, is a semi-circle of some of the company’s most famous F1 cars, as well as 110 of the trophies they won.

The leather on the bed itself is hand-stitched and made from the same material used for the seats in the cars themselves.

The stay coincides with the prestigious Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix and includes exclusive access to one of the hottest dates in the motorsport calendar.

Guests will be met by Marc at the race and provided with VIP tickets, including paddock access.

After the chequered flag, you’ll be whisked away to “dine like Enzo Ferarri“, the brand’s legendary founder, at Cavallino, a restaurant he frequented.

This is followed by a private tour of the Ferrari museum before spending the night in the trophy room.

It doesn’t end there, though, as the next morning will see you ride along with Marc on a hot lap of the Pista di Fiorano track in a beautiful 296 GTB.

Marc said: “Since I was a kid, I’ve loved the track. My dream came true when I turned pro and became a Scuderia Ferrari tester.

“As a driver and fan, it’s a dream to be this close to racing history.

“On May 19, take part in Ferrari’s legacy by watching our home race, staying overnight in Sala delle Vittorie inside Museo Ferrari in Maranello – sleeping next to 110 elite trophies and the Ferrari cars that won those trophies.

“Then ride alongside me on our racetrack: Pista di Fiorano.

“Tifosi, this is all for you.”

The listing launched on May 6 and the price is available upon request if you are selected by Ferrari’s team.

Hurry though, as entries close on May 8.
