This was truly a home from home - gorgeous house, everything we could want, lovely host, beautiful gardens, all within reach of the things we want to explore on the outskirts of Bologna. Piero was an exceptional host - friendly and kind, and his wee morning treats were great. I was truly sad to leave this lovely place.
We loved our stay with Pier. Heâs super sweet and allowed us to use his pizza oven one evening for dinner. He made us a small breakfast every morning. His house is a typical Italian house so Americans need to set their expectations accordingly. The views are amazing but make sure you go during daylight as the road up the mountain can be tricky if you are not used to it. Thank you Pier!
This was one of the best homes we have stayed in Italy! Pierro was an amazing host and there was plenty of space for our family of 4 to enjoy the property and landscape. We stayed for 8 nights and it felt like home away from home. Our children LOVED staying here and hiked in nearby areas almost everyday. The view was breathtaking. Pierro is a sweet man and on our last day he hosted a delicious lunch of pizza and dessert. He also made arrangements for us to have a home-cooked dinner of typical cuisine from the region in one of his neighborâs home. It was another highlight of our stay! We highly recommend this place especially to families with children.
We met Piero at the apartment, and he made us feel welcomed right from the start. He showed us around the apartment to make sure we would be comfortable along with leaving us with some goodies in the kitchen. The main floor has the living area and kitchen, and upstairs are the bedrooms. The apartment was very clean and there are full bathrooms on both floors, that was very convenient. The outside has a large backyard and views of the hills. There are a couple of covered patio areas with plenty of tables and chairs and a small basketball court. There are sites to see in Bologna and then nice to come back to a quiet and relaxing apartment. We really enjoyed our stay and wished we were there longer than 2 days and would like to return the next time we are in this area.
Zugegeben: Die Anfahrt war nicht ohne ... Ca. 25 Minuten ĂŒber eine kurvenreiche LandstraĂe und zum Schluss ein sehr steiler enger Weg, am Ende ca. 300 Meter Schotter. DafĂŒr erwartete uns ein Domizil in absoluter Ruhe mit tollem Fernblick, umgeben von Natur. Der ĂŒberaus freundliche Gastgeber wohnt im Haus nebenan und spricht sehr gut Englisch. Jeden Morgen wurden wir mit kleinen frischen Aufmerksamkeiten zum FrĂŒhstĂŒck versorgt. Sehr geschmackvolle Einrichtung passend zum rustikalen Charme des Anwesens. Nachts summt und zirpt es unter dem Sternenhimmel. Vor dem Haus lĂ€dt eine wirklich riesige Wiese zum Ausruhen, Sonnen und Spielen. Privater Parkplatz ist inklusive, das Hoftor öffnet und schlieĂt auf Knopfdruck. Nach Bologna sind es nicht mehr als 30 Minuten, nach Modena und Carpi etwa 1 Stunde und 15 ĂŒber die Autobahn.
Gastgeber: der netteste, freundlichste, groĂzĂŒgigste, den wir je hatten!!!
Lage: das Haus liegt auf einem HĂŒgel im Wald, Vogelgezwitscher Tag und Nacht(!!), wie im Paradies.
Traumhafter Ausblick ins Tal.
Einrichtung: einfach, zweckmĂ€Ăig, ohne Klimbim (wie wir es mögen)
