Description of the Reggio Emilia vacation b&b rental

THE B&B
Just over the Tuscan border (30 min) and a short drive to the major cities of Parma, Modena, Bologna, Pisa, Lucca, Verona, Viviana 's B&B puts you in the heart of the Italian Apennines.
It is ideal for those who want a real taste of Italian culture in a beautiful unspoiled setting, one of the best kept secret in Italy.

THE HOSPITALITY
Viviana 's B&B is a delightful 2 storey cottage, ideal for couples, families or a group of friends, and offers a family atmosphere with Italian hospitality.
The rooms are bright, comfortable and quiet with high quality beds.
All the bedrooms have private bathroom with shower.
The property owner lives next door, she speaks good English and has a wide local knowledge.

SERVICES
- There is adjacent space for private parking next to the property. Enjoy a glass or two of wine on the terrace or private garden with panoramic breathtaking views of the Apennines Mountains and Pietra di Bismantova. Catch a glimpse of roe deer wandering around freely. This is the ideal place for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
- In the recent years we have had many house hunters to stay as this area is 'taking off now that Tuscany and Umbria have been bought out. We are very happy to provide information to guests in their search for a house.
- The area has a multitude of amazing restaurants and trattorias where you can get a 5 course meal with wine for under 14 Euro per person. (We have made special agreememts with some restaurants)
- Own keys for more freedom

Viviana 's B&B is in the quiet hamlet of Monteduro 5 min drive from Castelnovo ne' Monti and near to the State Road SS63 that joins the Po Valley to Tuscany. Coming from Milan, Verona or Venice (however from the North), this is the fastest panoramic route to reach Cinque Terre, Lucca, Pisa and Florence (without taking the motorway) crossing a territory with enchanting, natural landscapes.

This is genuine unspoiled Italy and can be likened to Tuscany, as it was 30 years ago “ without the tourists. Due to its central location, the major cities and lakes in Northern Italy can be visited as day trips with one-two hour drive, thus avoiding expensive hotel stops overnight. Use our house as a base, 40 minutes drive from major railway station and the A1 motorway.

Castelnovo ne' Monti is the main hub and virtual nerve centre in the entire Apennine Mountains of Reggio Emilia, you will find several supermarkets including big fashionable shops, banks, a post office, an hospital, a theatre which also provides a first class cinema, ice cream shops, but above all a great feeling of hospitality and a true zest for life. Whilst providing all the amenities you will need Castelnovo ne ' Monti has managed to remain a truly Italian town in one of the most stunning parts of the country.
The jewel in its crown is the magnificent Bismantova plateau which really captures the tranquil beauty of the Apennine Mountains.
Here, history is inexorably linked with the name of Countess Matilda of Canossa. Castles and parish churches are the sign of this history which can also still be witnessed in the local customs and events of the area.

Emilia Romagna is without doubt the region where Italy 's best food is produced.
The local specialities, famous throughout the world, include Parmesan Cheese (take a visit to the local diary 3 min walk from the B&B where Parmesan is made), Parma ham, lasagne, balsamic vinegar and tortelli staffed with meat, vegetables and herbs. Lambrusco is the most renowned wine produced from the local vineyards.
Eating in a good and healthy way in Reggio 's Apennine is surely easy! Moreover, for the culinary expert mushrooms can be picked up in the surrounding woodlands.

For the motorbike and car enthusiasts we are a short drive to Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and Ducati museum.
