Au rez-de-chaussée de la vieille 'Barchessa' dans la région du vin Lambrusco, un appartement de 60 m² récemment rénové. On y entre par un cotto au sol pavé, la propriété comprend un salon avec salle à manger et cuisine, une grande chambre avec salle de douche complète.
Au coeur de l'Italie, cette propriété est à part. Entourée de terrains privés, La Barchessa dispose de son propre jardin, de son mobilier, d'un parasol, d'une douche extérieure et surtout du calme.
This was the ideal place to experience Emilia Romagna. Perfect for day trips. The accommodations were perfect, country beautiful and charming. Clean, private and very comfortable. The hosts were very accommodating. I would highly recommend this property.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at La Barchessa; the property is extremely comfortable and full of great features and furnishings. It is comprehensively equipped with all the utensils/crockery you could possibly need. Stefano and Margherita were extremely hospitable and ensured we had a thoroughly relaxing stay. The property is in a great location for exploring the surrounding towns, but equally allows you to stay more local if you prefer - we went for a couple of bike rides around nearby villages on the bikes that are provided, you can also go for walks on the estate itself and the pool at La Barchessa was very welcome in the hot weather! We would certainly like to visit La Barchessa again in the future.
Well renovated and very well equipped one bedroom accommodation in the countryside set amongst fields of crops and vineyards. Extremely friendly and very helpful hosts who have made every effort to help their guests have a happy and successful holiday with lots of information available about the local area.
Lovely property, very comfortable and well equipped. It had everything we needed. Stand and Margarita were perfect hosts and even arranged a visit to a local parmigiano producer. The converted barn is perfectly located for trips to Parma, Reggio Emilia and Bologna and to the hill in the south.
In Parma (35 minutes car drive from the Renovated Barn) you must visit the in-door 17th century wooden theater built by the Farnese family for a visit from the Medici's from Florence, Correggio's astonishing fresco in S.t Paul's cathedral, Antelami's 12th century sculptures in the Baptistery, and Parmigianino's organ painted doors in the church of La Steccata.
But of Parmigianino you should also visit in the castle of Fontanellato the fresco in Diana and Atteone's room painted at candle light when he was only 18 years old !
There are many interesting places to visit here around between a relaxing day and another.
A complete guide of places to visit, restaurants, wineries etc etc will be supplied upon booking.
We wish you a relaxing and interesting holiday.
We have just returned from our third two-week stay at La Barchessa. Stephano and Margherita greeted us like old friends and made us especially welcome. Their wonderful hospitality, interest in our welfare and the friendly, relaxed atmosphere they create make it a pleasure to spend time there. The apartment is spacious, spotless and very well-equipped with the mesh on the windows keeping the mosquitoes out and the ceiling fan in the bedroom helping to keep you cool at night. The pool is a godsend after a hot day's sightseeing and having a drink and eating out on the patio in the peace and quiet is just wonderful.
La Barchessa makes a great base from which to make day trips to visit the centro storicos of the main towns from Piacenza down to Bologna and up to Mantova plus all the incredible castles dotted around the region. You can also drive up into the hills south west of Parma/Reggio/Modena for some great scenery. Just be careful to use the internet to check opening times of places of interest before setting off - some are open at weekends only and almost always closed for two hours' siesta at lunchtime. Stephano's folders of notes and guides to the area are fantastically comprehensive and extremely helpful.
Do visit the pizzeria in Via Roma in Quattro Castella and sample a gelato from the gelateria in the square.
Thank you, Stephano and Margherita, for a great stay again. We would urge anyone contemplating a visit to Emilia Romagna to look very carefully at staying in La Barchessa - you won't be disappointed!

We loved our recent stay at La Barchessa. From the moment we arrived, Stefano and Margherita were very accommodating hosts. The cottage, charming and spotless, was a very welcome retreat each day after visiting area castles, churches and nearby cities. We enjoyed the pool and sitting in the different areas around the beautiful and spacious property. The kitchen was generously equipped and made cooking enjoyable. Stefano was easily available to answer questions and give suggestions, in addition to their vast amount of information located in the cottage. We were so glad that we chose La Barchessa to be our "home" while in the Reggio-Emilia area.

À 30 min de Parme, Fontanellato, Colorno. À 20 min de Reggio Emilia, Correggio. À 40 minutes de Modena et Sabbioneta. À 60 minutes de Mantua et Bologne. Profitez des nombreux sites à visiter dans la plaine padane, l'Italie oubliée des touristes. L'endroit mythique où le fils d'Apollon se jeta dans le fleuve Éridan (aujourd'hui le Pô) et où ses soeurs se transformèrent en peuplier. C'est ici aussi que vinrent Dante et Petrarca pour méditer sur la pierre de Bismantova. Ici vous trouverez les paysages peints par Corregio, Mantegna, Parmigianino. Ces peintures sont allées jusque Hampton Court avec Charles 1er ou à Dresde avec Albert le Grand vidant les palaix de Mantua et Modène. C'est ici que le premier artiste médiéval (Antelami) a construit ses cathédrales à Parme, Culatello ou Prosciutto di Parma. Dégustez le Lambrusco pétillant et goutez aux véritables tortellini. À ne pas manquer.
