For nature lovers
To guarantee the safety of ourselves and our guests we decided to close for the entire year of 2020. We still have to figure out how to change our way of working according to the upcoming social-distancing standards.
B&B La Fossa is is located in the province of Reggio Emilia, in the Apennines and located inside a protected naturalistic area and has beautiful panoramic views over a valley covered by woods.

Coppie
Our guests generally love some days of complete relaxation, immersed in the slow rhythm of our little oasis in the woods. Walks in the valley can lead them to seasonal natural peculiarities. Lovers of good food are pleasantly surprised by the excellent restaurants at walking distance with traditional and family-run cuisine. Guests who like culture and history find at short distance the Castles of the times of Matilde of Canossa, the cities Parma, Reggio Emilia and in Castelnovo ne’Monti there is a impressive mountain called Pietra di Bismantova. On hot summer days our guests also enjoy swiming in the river Enza.
The houses of B&B La Fossa
La Fossa is a group of three antique Italian farmhouses. We offer Bed & Breakfast facilities in two of these farmhouses that we restored while preserving their authentic style.
The small house
The small B&B house with the big window and beautiful view is the most romantic house and is ideal for a couple or a family with kids or two couples of friends.

In the name of the Queen
To give a number to each hive seemed too sterile, so I gave a name to each hive and thought it would be a fun idea to give them the names of Queens. Read more →

In order to have a healthier and more natural diet, we were searching for organic wheat grains that we could grind at a mill, so that the flour would retain all its best properties. Read more →
