A beautiful house, the perfect place to relax, sample the best Italian food and places to visit
We had a fantastic holiday at Corte Croce, the house is beautiful, every room feels huge with lots of original features and furniture, even the original solid fuel range his parents used to cook on, although there is a modern cooker adjacent. It is the most spacious property we have ever rented and has everything, including a games room with a football table for the kids - and grown ups. Giulio is a wonderful host, he speaks perfect English, and gave us the warmest welcome we could ask for. Nothing is too much for him, he’s at the end of the phone for any query or advice of where to visit. From the welcome pack of food and wine to condiments, olive oil, balsamic, dishwasher tablets, toiletries, all of those bits and bobs you expect to have to buy yourself, were provided. The grounds around the house are very spacious, a huge terrace and garden with mature trees for shade, lawns to relax, or play on, and surrounded by farmland makes this the perfect place to relax in peace and quiet, listen to the birds and the rustle of leaves on the trees.
We found the house the perfect location for exploring the surrounding area. Modena, the home of balsamic vinegar had a fabulous food hall with everything fresh you can imagine available. Fresh porcini mushrooms, local Parmesan, 20 year old balsamic vinegar, prosciutto, we were in food heaven. In one corner of the hall you can sit and sample local food, we highly recommended the taster menu at Monari, who also have a separate counter for balsamic tasting.
Within easy reach are Lake Garda, Verona, the city of love, Bologna, Parma (book a visit to a Parmesan Reggiano dairy) and don’t miss the lesser-known Mantova, a small, but very beautiful town.
A little further, but still less than 2 hours drive is Venice, a must-see venue on anybody’s bucket list. We fell in love with it’s beauty, grandeur and wandered for hours from stunning monuments to fascinating quiet canals and coffee shops in residential districts.
A perfect holiday

Quiet, grand home in the countryside and close to other cities for day trips!
Giulio was so helpful! He gave us a tour of the property, told us some stories about his parents who lived there and generally made us feel so welcome. There was a lovely box of snacks (pasta, toast, milk, wine) in the kitchen and they thankfully provided soaps and moisturizers too! I always forget soap when I travel and it’s always much appreciated when it’s there!
He even checked in via text message over the weekend. It’s a magical place for anyone wanting a bit of peace and quiet with a lovely backdrop.
Nothing. It was so quiet and nice to get away from a busy city.

Worth recommending, it's a pity that the holidays are so short :(
A wonderful host, competent and very discreet in contacts, great English- speaking, atmospheric house beatifully decorated, rural climates and excellent location to explore italian citis such as Mantova, Verona, Cremona, Bologna etc.
We are very pleased to stay in this beautiful house.

Fantastyczny stary dom, przemiłym właścicielem, dobrze skomunikowany z atrakcyjnymi miejscami.
Fantastyczny stary dom. Gigantyczna powierzchnia. Doskonale wyposażony w zasadzie we wszystko co może być przydatne podczas pobytu. Bardzo czysto. Bardzo wygodne łóżko. Położony na uboczu przez co jest tam naprawdę cicho i spokojnie. Z drugiej strony do bardzo wielu miejsc jest bardzo blisko. Parma, Modena, Mantua, Bolonia, Ferrara, Werona, jezioro Garda to krótka wyprawa samochodem. Wokół domu drzewa owocowe, winogrona. Mnóstwo miejsca by posiedzieć na zewnątrz, wygodne meble ogrodowe zarówno by zjeść jak i posiedzieć na zewnątrz. Ponadto niezwykle sympatyczny właściciel. Nie tylko pokazał nam gdzie co jest w domu, przy tej powierzchni bardzo przydatne, sami pralki nigdy byśmy nie znaleźli :) Ale dodatkowo opowiedział nam historie domu i pokazał najciekawsze stare meble i przedmioty, które tam są. Giulio bardzo ci dziękujemy. Idealne miejsce dla osób, które szukają spokojnego i komfortowego miejsca wakacyjnego także ze zwierzakiem.
I jeszcze jedna rzecz, którą odkryliśmy dzięki właścicielowi. Niedaleko trzydzieści kilka kilometrów jest stacja kolejowa Reggio Emilia AV Mediopadana. Stamtąd odjeżdżają koleje wysokich prędkości (Freccia Rossa lub Italo) do Bolonii jedzie się 22 minuty, do Florencji godzinę. Inne destynacje to na przykład Wenecja, Mediolan, Rzym...

We had a wonderful stay at Corte Croce. Giulio, the owner and host, was extremely friendly and helpful. He was always happy to give us advice and explain more about the local area, its history and everyday life, which made our stay even more interesting.
The house is in a very peaceful and private location and is a great choice for anyone who appreciates historic houses with character, a large garden and plenty of space around them. At the same time, it is a very good base for exploring this part of northern Italy. Mantua, Verona, Lake Garda, Parma, Modena and Reggio Emilia are all within reach for day trips.
The area is also excellent for cycling. The countryside is mostly flat, there is relatively little traffic on the local roads, and we found drivers to be very considerate towards cyclists. It is therefore possible to make both short and longer cycling trips directly from the house.
Some members of our group also went fishing on the nearby Po River. Fishing on the Po is a truly unique experience, especially for those interested in larger fish such as catfish. There are also many canals in the surrounding countryside, which offer easier and more accessible fishing and can be suitable for less experienced anglers as well.
Overall, we really enjoyed the combination of a quiet historic house, beautiful countryside, cycling, fishing and the possibility of visiting some of the most interesting towns in northern Italy. Giulio's hospitality made the experience even better. We would happily stay here again.

Wat een prachtige locatie! Deze sfeervolle boerderij ademt historie en charme, en is tot in de puntjes verzorgd — alles is super schoon. De vriendelijke host, die hier zelf gewoond heeft, deelt met plezier de familiegeschiedenis van de boerderij. Het authentieke karakter is behouden gebleven, met liefde voor de oude stijl, maar voorzien van alle moderne gemakken van nu. Je wordt hartelijk ontvangen, krijgt handige tips over de omgeving en er wordt regelmatig gevraagd of alles naar wens is. Rondom de boerderij ligt een schitterend landschap, ideaal om te wandelen en tot rust te komen. Een plek waar historie, gastvrijheid en comfort samenkomen – een bijzondere ervaring en een waardevolle herinnering.
