Perfect Family Vacation

BELLA ITALY Napa, CA, USA
Review Submitted: August 27, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Roisin and Frank's lovely stone farmhouse in the charming village of Besozzola was the perfect setting for our family vacation. My husband, two daughters (14 and 11) and myself travelled from California to Europe for the first time to discover the pleasures of Northern Italy.
We found this property and felt that we made the perfect choice.
The location was perfect! We were tucked away in a charming hamlet with total privacy and only 20 minutes away from the lovely city of Salsomaggorie. We made trips to Bologna, Florence, Modena and all the castles of the region. The local trattorias were excellent and we even took advantage of a cooking lesson arranged by Roisin with a chef in a nearby village.
The house itself was spacious, comfortable with an amazing kitchen, laundry and views. After our daily wanderings we were always content to come back to the farmhouse.
I would recommend this vacation property to anyone looking for an authentic experience of gorgeous rural Italy.

peacefull comfort in rolling hills

apollonia Stokkebro, Denmark
Review Submitted: August 26, 2008 Date of Stay: March 2007
The old stonehouse by the church has perfect comfort and very sweet hosts. The bedrooms and bathrooms are big and nice. The open fireplace makes the quiet evenings peacefull and cosy, and in the mornings coffe or tea are with a beautifull view. Theres plenty of room for eight grown up people.
We were on very beautifull sightseeings to Cinque terre and portofino at the coast, and to the spectacular historic city Parma were tourists parks for free. Here you must see the old baroque theater made all in wood in the old Farnese Palace, now city museum. The renaissance churches with Correggio and Parmigianinos murals. The Farnese garden palace with fantastic manieristic frescoes, now police headquarters, but open for a small fee, and the beautifull small convent with Correggios unique mythological murals. Parma is a true treasurbox of north italian renaissance art and all is reached on foot, nice shopping too. .
North of Italy holds a lot of old castles. Fontanellato near Parma are open all year round situated very nice with local shops who sells icecream, coffee and local specialities to tourists. The old castle holds famous mythological murals of a young Parmigianino.
From the holiday house of Frank and Roisin, Parma can be reached within an hour down the rolling hills, Cinque Terre in two hours down the highway ore over the mountains on the old road.
Around the house are fine pathways to other small mountain towns and all over the view of beautifull rolling hills.
This hollyday house can be highly recommended, though we came from Denmark we were treated like old friends and all practical arrangements and communication ran smoothly.

Gorgeous View - Great Accommodation

Travel enthusiast Chicopee, MA USA
Review Submitted: May 27, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
Nothing beats waking up to the sounds of nature instead of a busy city. The farmhouse is a fabuous place to base your vacation from; far enough out to inspire relaxation, yet close enough to the city and highway to explore the splendor that is Italy. Weather in May was perfect.

Roisin and Frank are great hosts and you feel right at home in the farmhouse. Neighbors are wonderful and respectful of your privacy.

Definitely a great place to stay!!
