Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing stay in Zocca This was exactly as advertised. We had a wonderful stay. Sylvi and Pier are the best. They made us a delicious breakfast! The beds were comfortable, the view was incredible, and the countryside was gorgeous. If you want to get away from the crowds and experience staying in a 15th century villa, this is the place. ##### Melissa W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike P.

We really enjoyed the evening sunsets on the patio. It is a little bit of a jaunt to get there, but Zocca is close and there are terrific family owned restaurants even closer. Maranello (Ferrari) and Bologna (omg the food) are within an hour. ##### Mike P.

Very roomy, clean, and lovingly maintained. Three full modern bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen (including free coffee, thank you!). We also had the breakfast provided by the owner, a wonderful combination of fresh local products. The location is off the beaten path, with a great view over the valley. The nearby village has a great public pool to spend a summer afternoon. We enjoyed our stay and the scenic drive to the property very much. ##### Franziska K.

Silvia and Pier were fantastic, always accessible and answered every question. Gave us great recommendations for dinner, butcher, baker, and cheese shop. 1hour drive to Bologna, Modena. 90 minutes to Parma. We were 6 adults and had plenty of space, the 3 bathrooms were great. Great property to hike around. I would recommend this property 100% to anyone. I will be definitely staying here again ##### John C. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Edyta W.

Generous and clean space with great water pressure. We took advantage of the welcome dinner by chef Pierre, and it was one of our favorite memories, sitting on the patio, overlooking the mountains of Emilia romagna and enjoying great local food. Take advantage of the nearby Pool on a hot day, 3 minutes away. Only downside, location is on top of a mountain range, so driving can be a bit challenging to get up to Zocca. ##### Jens D.

Manglede en rigtig kaffemaskine samt affaldsspande. Var oprindelig blevet booket i hovedhuset. Dette blev ændret, således vi var 6 personer i en afdeling og 4 personer i en anden uden mulighed for at have et spisested, vor vi alle kunne være. Ellers et behageligt ophold. ##### Henning M.
