Abbiamo trascorso tre giorni bellissimi, in totale relax e tranquillità! Tanto spazio esterno lontano dalla strada dove il nostro cane è letteralmente "impazzito di gioia".... Ci sono bei luoghi da visitare nei dintorni, la casa è molto carina e completamente equipaggiata, il camino è "galattico"! Paola molto cordiale e disponibile per qualunque richiesta: grazie di tutto! Torneremo sicuramente!

Abbiamo soggiornato due notti in questa deliziosa casa che Paola ha sapientemente deciso di condividere con altre persone. La vista della Rocchetta è spettacolare nella pace e tranquillità che la avvolge. Paola è disponibilissima e ci ha fatto trovare in casa persino il "prosecchino" di benvenuto. Grazie davvero di tutto.

Paola was great and helped us with everything in the apartment and in the area. She was very accommodating and allowed us to bring our dogs. Apartment is certainly large enough and very clean. Great view of the castle and surrounding area. Highly recommend!

Esperienza fantastica, l'unico rammarico è averci passato solamente una notte! Di sicuro noi ci torneremo, ospitalità e gentilezza, ci siamo sentiti subito come a casa nostra. Inoltre il posto gode di un panorama emozionante! Ringraziamo ancora Paola con un "a presto" per quando torneremo a trovarla!

Tutto come indicato nell'annuncio, una vera sorpresa la cucina economica, da provare assolutamente. Posto fantastico

Paola and Deborah, thank you for the guest freedom. Everything was very well organized, the house was excellent. If we are in the area again, we will certainly come back to you. This is really a good place to book!

La casa è carinissima, molto confortevole e dotata di tutti i confort. Il panorama che si vede è bellissimo, alzarsi la mattina e vedere le colline bolognesi e il castello della Rocchetta Mattei è spettacolare. Paola ci è venuta a prendere in paese perchè la casa rimane fuori ed è stata molto carina e cortese. La casa è dotata di tutti i confort anche per chi come me ha difficoltà a muoversi.

Ho soggiornato da Edoardo questo fine settimana.L'accoglienza è stata molto calorosa, ci ha anche rifocillati ;) ... L'appartamento era gradevole e caldo, è stato un bel weekend a contatto con la (URL HIDDEN) rientro serale abbiamo anche incontrato due esemplari di cervi!

La casa di Edoardo è in posizione tranquilla e molto comoda per visitare le bellezze dei luoghi e fare escursioni. L'appartamento è esattamente come descritto nelle foto, funzionale e accessoriato per ogni esigenza. Ultimo ma non da meno, la gentilezza e la disponibilità di Edoardo che ci ha dato il benvenuto con una buonissima torta, una bottiglia di vino e ancora tante altre cose buonissime. Davvero una sorpresa gradita. Un soggiorno molto piacevole, seppur breve, ma che non dimenticheremo.

The place was very good value for money and an ideal place to stay after a long day walking in the nearby mountains. The host was very accommodating and it was set in a beautiful location with great views over the valley. Highly recommend!

Un posto immerso nella natura e comunque vicino a luoghi di interesse cone porretta terme e il lago di suviana. ..bellissimi itinerari da scoprire anche a piedi. Bellissimo svegliarsi e vedere la vallata dal letto !!!

casa molto bella, padrona gentile simpatica e disponibile, siamo contentissimi. grazie Morena!

Morena's place is wonderful-- way beyond our expectations, and Morena is the most hospitible and pleasant host anyone could ask for. Me, my brother and sister had been traveling through Europe for about a month before we ended up in Italy. staying in Venice and Bologna the first ten das before, at the last minute, we found Morena on airbnb. We did not really know what to expect other than the praise given to her by previous airbnb users-- which she is more than worthy of. We ran out of cell phone power when we got to Riola and could not find a place to get on the internet, as a consequence we ended up trecking pretty well up the mountain in the opposite direction of the house (which really is just a ten minute walk from the station), had we taken care to communicate better we would have had no trouble getting there on our own. Fortunately for us, an Italian farmer living up the road saw us strugggling uphill, over-loaded and worn out from wandering through Bologna, and flagged us down to offer assistance (thank god for (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Translator). We explained our situation and he called Morena and within minutes she came up the road to collect us. When we arrived at the apartment we were stunned to find the charming little place all to ourselves. It was up-to-date, in excellent condition, decorated charmingly and stocked with cooking supplies, toiletries, coffee and cookies. Morena is wovderful, so accomidating and friendly, smart as a whip and clearly very much on top of her game. We really enjoyed talking with her and all the kindness and advice she provided us with, ontop of the beautiful apartment and the much-welcomed encouragment to cook and take advantage the facilities. We also found a booklet of recomendations for nearby sites and shops authored by very own host on the table which was very considerate and helpful. Morena writes tour guides and organizes trips for groups visiting Riola and Bologna for a veriaty of things, terrot is her speciality and her appreciation for the art is apparent throughout the apartment; there are painting on every available wall amd you will find one you hadn't noticed at first every time you walk into a room there. The whole place is fantastic and cozy; with big and comfy beds, beautiful furniture, classy acrutaments and a stunning view from every window. Of course we loved it; we felt like royalty, and after trudging through Italy in more popular areas which we found busier, more costly and less friendly, we finally felt like we were getting to see that famous Italian hospitality and charm we had expected when we chartered our trip. Riola is beautful; old fashioned, out-of-the-way, and authentic. Also there is a suprising amount of things to see for a place that's not really a well-known destination for travelers coming into the country. There are two castels in Riola, stunning landscapes all around, the terrot museum...

Neat apartment - as per photos. Warm welcome and Morena even came to fetch up when we got lost on the wrong end of the street! She communicated well at all stages and even made a booking at La Rocchetta Mattei on our behalf. Tea. coffee, and some breakfast supplies were provided which was handy. Town centre/station are not too far (ten minute walk).

Hi! First I would like to say thank you to Morena for a great and warm welcome. It was a pleasure to meet such a nice and friendly person. Apartment was prepared very well, clean and cozy plus some snacks and juice in the fridge for us, that was nice! In the kitchen all stuff what you need. We were 5 there and we all enjoyed. It was easy to get to the apartment thanks clear and precise description received from Morena. Interesting architecture of the building and surrounding. Definitely I recommend that place to stay! Best regards!

Appartamento spazioso e dotato di tutto ciò che serve; luogo appartato in posizione ideale per fare passeggiate e godersi la natura e la storia di questa parte di appennino; Edoardo è un host rapido ed efficiente nel rispondere a tutte le richieste. Ciliegina sulla torta: vino, dolci pasquali (e altro) come benvenuto al nostro arrivo. Cosa chiedere di più? Super consigliato!!!

This was a great accommodation for our family's Italy adventure during the week between Christmas and New Year. The setting high in the hills above the town of Vergato was beautiful and remote, yet we were minutes away from all we needed (supermarket, restaurants, shopping). And we were within easy day trips of Florence, Siena, Bologna, Modena and all the other treasures of the Emelia-Romagna and Tuscany regions. The house was perfect -- the character of an older farmhouse retrofitted with a modern interior. The heated tile floors were great for the winter temperatures. The six members of our family had a comfortable setting where we could relax, sit by the fireplace, cook some great meals in the fully equipped kitchen (especially following the Monday "market day" after picking up fresh produce, cheeses, and cured meats of the region). Sandra (the homeowner) made the booking process very easy. And we were greeted on our arrival by Angela, a lifetime resident of the area who manages the property and ensured we had all we needed, including some restaurant tips. It was a memorable stay. Thanks Sandra.

Edilzee est une personne bienveillante qui prend soin de ses hôtes. Ambiance particulière avec une bible et "Le dernier jour pour une vie meilleure" dans la chambre. On aime ... ou pas ! Le lit n'est pas de bonne qualité et on entend tout dans la chambre d'à côté, dommage car le site est très calme et reposant. Du beurre, lait ou jus d'orange serait un plus au petit déjeuner. Édilze fait elle meme sa cuisine (gâteaux, produits du jardin ou du terroir).

We had a wonderful stay at il mio rifugio. Edilze is a great host and available to answer every question (thanks for the tip for the restaurant, it was great!). The area is very calm, if you want to do some walking or need some time to contemplate about your life, this is the place (there's nothing much else to do). One thing to note is that use of the spa facilities is not included for airbnb guests.
