Holidays in nature

The panoramic view from the small house

B&B La Fossa is located in the province of Reggio Emilia, in the Apennine Mountains. Surrounded by a protected natural area, the property offers stunning panoramic views of the wooded valley below. It’s the perfect place to get away from it all and enjoy the beauty of nature.

You can choose between the big or the small house

La Fossa is a collection of three antique Italian farmhouses. We offer bed and breakfast accommodations in two of the houses, while the third is where we (your hosts) reside. Each house is unique and has its own charm, providing a one-of-a-kind experience.

Breakfast

In the morning, we will provide you with home-baked bread from our wood oven, as well as home-made jams, pastries and honey from our bees. You can decide for yourself when to have breakfast and enjoy it at your leisure.

Our guests

Our guests love spending a few days relaxing in our secluded oasis in the woods. They often go on walks through the valley, where they can admire the changing seasons and discover natural wonders. Foodies will be pleasantly surprised by the delicious, traditional cuisine served at the excellent restaurants within walking distance. Those interested in culture and history can visit the nearby castles of Matilde of Canossa, or explore the nearby cities of Parma and Reggio Emilia. On hot summer days, guests can also cool off by swimming in the nearby Enza river. In the nearby town of Castelnovo ne’ Monti, visitors can see the majestic Pietra di Bismantova mountain.
