Our guests
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 usually lead them to seasonal natural peculiarities. Lovers of good food are pleasantly surprised by the excellent restaurants at hiking 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 swimming in the river Enza.
The big house
The big B&B house is the most authentic house and has a many old stoves and a big bathroom. It has two bedrooms and is ideal for 2-5 people. A booking is always for the complete house, even though the payment is per person. There is wifi internet.
