B&B da Viviana in Tuscan-Emilian National Park (#36175)

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, B&B da Viviana 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.

B&B da Viviana 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 a private bathroom with shower.

It is also available:
- a comfortable lounge where you can mingle, watch TV or make plans for your holidays;
- a terrace with panoramic breathtaking view of Pietra di Bismantova and the Apennines mountains and where you can enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of tea;
- a small garden where you can relax or sunbathe;
- an adjacent space for private parking next to the property;

Additional information
- A useful selection of maps, guides, catalogues and timetables is at your disposal, but if you need more information, you can always chat with us and we will be delighted to help you to discover the hidden sights and less-known delights of this land or to suggest a visit to the art cities of Parma, Modena and Bologna. With these resources at your disposal you can really make the most of your holiday in this beautiful unspoiled land.
- For eating out in the evening, we are lucky to have a wide variety of excellent restaurants in the local vicinity. We can of course advise you. With some of them we have made special agreements and you can get a 5 course meal with wine from 12 Euros per person.
- 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.
- We give you a set of keys so that you may come and go as you please.
- The property owner lives next door, she speaks excellent English and has a wide local knowledge.

The territory where B&B da Viviana is situated is characteristic for the uncontaminated landscape and breathtaking views. The surroundings area offers different opportunities for everyone who loves trekking, horse riding, mountain biking or free climbing but it is also a wonderful starting point for visiting the art cities of Parma, Modena, Bologna, Verona, Pisa and Lucca or the spectacular landscape of Cinque Terre.

Castelnovo ne' Monti is the main hub and virtual nerve centre in the entire Apennine Mountains of Reggio Emilia, you will find several supermarkets, big fashionable shops, banks, a post office, a 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 Pietra di Bismantova which really captures the tranquil beauty of the Apennine Mountains.
Here, history is inexorably linked with the name of La Contessa Matilde di 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.

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

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.

Emilia Romagna is without doubt the region where Italy’s best food is produced.
The local specialities, famous throughout the world, include parmigiano-reggiano (take a visit to the local dairy 3 min walk from the B&B where parmigiano-reggiano cheese 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!

 W la Viviane!, March 25, 2009

By Clarissa Bradford (Winchester, England)

We had a wonderful week at Castelnovo ne’ Monti, and Viviana was most welcoming. It was a lovely stay in a charming place. The beds comfortable and warm, the breakfast good and more than adequate and moreover Viviana speaks very good English and nothing was too much trouble for her. Because of her very good ideas how to spend the days, we will remember this holiday for long. We hope to return to this jewel of a find! Clary Winchester, England

 

 A great place to stay, March 23, 2009

By Lynn (Stuttgart)

My wife and I stayed at Viviana’s B&B in May this year. We were absolutely exhausted when we arrived but were immediately made feel welcome by Viviana who provided us with refreshments and made us feel completely at home. Our room was delightful, bright, even if little small, overlooking the back garden, and with our own private bathroom. As far as location is concerned, we found it perfect. The surrounding area offers different opportunities for everyone who loves trekking but the B&B is also a good base if you want to visit major cities and lakes in Northern Italy or if you want to go to Cinque Terre (a bit more than one hour drive) and Viviana was also helpful in providing maps, catalogues and some tips on what to see. Apart from the excellent value for money the hospitality was great and so we highly recommend it.
