This guest establishment was a great surprise. The rooms are comfortable, albeit a tad small, no doubt formerly monk's cells. The staff are extremely friendly. On-site free parking. The big treat was the restaurant. Delectable fare are super-reasonable prices, an aperito on the house, impeccable service.

Lovely dining room in old monastery and the food superb, easy drive from Parma. Meal servings are very generous and we liked the local Malvasia sparkling wine.

Simply one of the most endearing and charming people I've ever met. I certainly hope... More

One of our best meals in Italy! The restaurant is family run and you receive a warm welcome. We were jet lagged and did not think we could make it to dinner time so they allowed us to come early.
