We've had a absolutely wonderful stay in this beautiful English Style cottage in the apeninne mountains. Maria Cristina and her husband are incredibly friendly and will make you feel right at home. They mostly speak Italian, but make great effort to communicate and tell you about this beautiful region. Surrounding the house is an amazingly lush rose garden with hundreds of beautiful flowers and multiple spots where you can enjoy the sun and the views over the hills. The house is easily reachable by car and about an hours drive away from Modena, Bologna, and Parma. But the more nearby vilages are also worth visiting (we had the luck to visit in October during the Sagra Della Castagna). There are various fantastic osteria's, trattoria's, and restaurants nearby where you'll find locals enjoying the incredible foods of the Emilia-Romagna region (the gastronomical center of Italy).The cottage itself has a very cozy feeling due to the beautiful handcrafted woodwork. The two main bedrooms are spacious and light, and we've slept like bricks! The living room and kitchen are well suited for a couple or a small family. It has airconditioning in all rooms and you're well protected from mosquito's when you're inside. There are three social cats on the property who love to cuddle, and they're not allowed inside the house.We would love to return some day! Happy travels!
