Très belle maison

Nous avons passez une superbe semaine avec nos trois enfants dans cette très belle maison. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié le calme des lieux. La maison est bien équipée, y compris au niveau du chauffage (si comme nous vous venez hors saison) et aussi de la cuisine, pour profiter des superbes produits locaux. Propreté exemplaire et très bonne communication avec le propriétaire.

Quiet and nice

Very quiet, only sounds are the village churchbell and birds. House is fine, very nice balcony next to the kitchen where you can eat. The house is cool although we found the bedrooms under the roof to be quite warm. We agree with others that the mattresses are very hard and wire-enting would-be be very nice as there were many mosquitoes and other insects. There were only 2 of us, but as the (only)toilet is in the bathroom that would-be not be very practical with 6. Nice to explore the villages. Piacenza 45 minutes, Parma 1 hr, Modena 1,5 hr. Plenty of restaurants nearby. We thank our host for his kindness, practical solution for the keys and of course the wine!

Ausgangspunkt für Exkursionen in die Emilia Romagna

Frank hat ein sehr schönes Domizil auf dem Lande. Es ist zwar eine kurvige und schlechte Strasse von seinem Haus bis zu den Hauptruten der Emilia, aber der Standort ist ideal, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten dieser Region zu erkunden, was uns als Aktivurlauber sehr entgegen kam. Das Haus und die Anlage sind sauber und gepflegt. Die Kommunikation mit Frank war immer sehr zeitnah und informativ. Leider wurde seine letzte und entscheidende Mail vom Internet geschluckt und so mussten wir zweieinhalb Stunden warten, bis ein Nachbar kam und uns zeigte wo die Schlüssel deponiert waren. Egal, wir waren im Haus und Frank hatte uns zwei Kartons seines Rotweines zum kostenlosen Verzehr gerichtet. Das war sehr großzügig, vielen Dank. Die Ausstattung ist gut, nur der Mokka aus den Bialetti-Maschinen ist nicht unserer. Macht aber nichts, wir haben immer unsere Reise-Kapselmaschine dabei. Wer absolute Ruhe sucht, ist hier richtig. Kein störender Lärm, kein Handyempfang, wlaan funktionierte übrigens einwandfrei. Nur das Rufen des Kuckucks war Morgens und Abends zu hören. Frank hat sich regelmäßig per Mail gemeldet und gefragt, wie es uns geht und ob alles in Ordnung ist. Das war sehr dezent und überhaupt nicht aufdringlich. Einzig und das war für uns der Grund, nicht fünf Sterne zu vergeben, waren die Betten. 1,80m in der Breite, eine für uns zu dünne und durchgänige Matratze mit einem einteiligen Rost waren der Garant für einen unruhigen Schlaf. Zusammenfassend, außer unserem subjektiven Eindruck über das Nachtlager, können wir Franks Domizil vorbehaltlos weiterempfehlen. Dank Frank. Gruß Christoph und Inge.

Everything we needed in the area we wanted

My husband and I rented this beautiful home for 9 nights in September 2017. It was our first trip to Italy, and we wanted to experience the Emilia-Romagna area in particular. In the end we only stayed 6 nights, but that was because we made some last-minute changes to our itinerary once we arrived. Frank was super helpful from start to finish and very prompt in responding to emails. He gave us great directions to the house and provided suggestions for shopping, dining, and sightseeing. We were not able to coordinate a time to meet in person, but we had no trouble getting into the house and found everything easily once inside. We had two minor issues: there was no tumble dryer as listed on HomeAway, so we had to hang laundry outside to dry. We normally have no problem with this but we happened to be there during a rainy week; happily we managed, and having the washing machine was very helpful. Also, at the risk of sounding like a pair of Goldilocks, we didn't find any of the three beds very comfortable. However we recently invested in a very high-end mattress at home so it's entirely possible we have become snobs. As mentioned there was quite a bit of rain while we were there, and temperatures ranged from 11C in the hills to 23C on lower ground. Luckily Frank had warned us in advance that the typical weather was off-kilter, so we had packed accordingly. We did have a very nice fire one night to help ward off the chill. On nice mornings I sat outside on the terrace with a book and hot chocolate while letting hubby sleep late, and we dined outside a few times too. Frank generously left us a case each of his red and white wines. We only tried the red and found it delightful. What a nice treat! We had researched activities, festivals, and other events in advance of our arrival, but we did not come across "The Best of Italy 100" race until we arrived. This was a car, cycle and bike race based in Castel'Arquatto, so we were able to go check out all the Italian-made vehicles which was a very nice surprise while we checked out the castle and village. We were able to find online information regarding road closures during the race which was helpful in our planning over those three days. We took some long drives through the countryside and had some great meals despite a bit of a language barrier. Everyone was welcoming, and Google Translate was extremely helpful throughout our trip! Next trip we'll have better Italian. Excellent rental!
