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.
