Reggio nell'Emilia: Häuser

We chose this agritourismo to be our home base for 9 days from which to visit the area: from Bologna to Milan to the Adriatic Sea. Our host, Mario, was a gem. He met us upon our arrival in Montebabbio, demonstrated the features of the accommodation, and explained his family had been residents of the area for 500 years. He made contact on two more occasions to check on us and our stay. He directed us to two of our best meals within the region, one of which we would not have found without his recommendation. He was more than happy to send us links to local attractions which included a local dairy that makes exellent parmigiano reggiano cheese. As for the accommodations, the two upstairs bedrooms each have their own bathroom. The bedrooms are large, with lots of natural light, the beds comfortable, and there is a large wardrobe with shelves for clothing. There is lots of hot water with decent pressure. The kitchen was well equipped. There is only a loveseat in the downstairs seating area so the kitchen chairs needed to be used for general seating as well as dining. The kitchen chairs are very hard and our only recommendation would be to provide seat cushions for them. There are no laundry facilities. We enjoyed our evenings outside at the large picnic table and benches with cocktails and appetizers, watching the sunset over the glorious countryside. Parking was never an issue, with overflow available 50 feet away. Would we stay here again – absolutely!
