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.
