About this property

Country house between Parma and Reggio Emilia w/Wifi and swimming pool

A completely independent apartment of approximately sixty square meters consisting of a double bedroom (Queen size bed 160 x 200 cm), "en suite" bathroom, sitting room with dining corner and fully equipped kitchen. Supermarkets, groceries and shops within five minutes so as good restaurants and pizzeries. Patio equipped for outdoor living, barbeque, garden and swimming pool. The swimming pool is shared with the owners.
Located between the villages of Quattro Castella and Bibbiano, the apartment is part of a seventy-hectare property mostly cultivated with vineyards (Lambrusco) halfway between Parma and Reggio Emilia which are easily reachable in half an hour by car. Other destinations of historical and cultural interest easily reachable by car are: the 11th century ruins of the castle of the Vice Queen of Italy Matilde of Canossa, the castles of Colorno, Fontanellato, San Secondo Torrechiara and Sabbioneta (UNESCO world heritage site) and Modena, the vital center of the "motor valley" with also the Ferrari, Lamborghini, Pagani and Maserati museums. An excellent "base" for deepening your knowledge of a still quiet part of the Emilia Romagna region not frequented by mass tourism, known by most at the moment only for the offer of excellent DOC foods such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Parma Ham, Felino salami, balsamic vinegar, tortellini and for its renowned cuisine in the tranquility of the countryside.
During your stay at this farm stay, you'll be close to Bianello Castle. Enjoy features like an outdoor pool.
  • Free WiFi
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool
  • 7 minutes by car from Bianello Castle and 8 minutes from Venturini Baldini
Country house between Parma and Reggio Emilia w/Wifi and swimming pool offers its guests an outdoor pool, barbecue grills, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Quattro Castella farm stay is smoke free.

Love this Property
We loved our stay at Quattro Castella! The property was exactly as described and so much more. It was peaceful and relaxing and perfect after a day of exploring the area. The kitchen had all the utensils we needed for preparing our meals. We loved the living room area and spent our evenings talking about our day and planning the next. We used the info provided by our host to plan our trips and meals. Such a perfect stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Stefano and Margherita were the kindest hosts. Check in was very easy and they showed us around the property. The house itself was very beautiful, and in the heat of August it stayed very cool. We were given wonderful recommendations to get our groceries and wines. The region itself was very beautiful. We would recommend all big cities around to visit. We spent our time mostly visiting vineyards, which were plenty of in the region. So, after our busy mornings with visiting vineyards, cities or having a hike, we could come back and relax and take a dive in their pool to refresh. We sincerely loved the place, and would definitely come back next time we travel to the region.

A quiet retreat in the middle of a Lambrusco vineyard
Easy to follow travel instructions helped us to find this tucked away barn in a vineyard with everything that you could possibly need. It was immaculately clean and well organised. The owners had provided a very helpful dossier of local excursions, restaurants and amenities. Stefano and Margherita were delightful hosts respectful of the privacly of the guests but with good English and very helpful when needed. Parma ,Reggio Emilia and Bologna (by train) were within easy reach and were full of art, arhchitecure and atmosphere. The difference for us was this was set up as a home and not just a holiday let. It was treat.

First-class holiday
It is impossible to over-praise our stay at La Barchessa. The accommodation itself in this bucolic oasis is perfect for a couple - beautifully appointed, packed full with useful information from Stefano and, something by no means a given with holiday lets, blessed with a well-equipped kitchen - even sharp knives! Outside is a wonderful secret garden in which we spent many hours sunbathing, and a lovely non-chlorinated pool to cool off in. Everything has been very carefully and considerately thought through by Stefano and Margherita - and it is those two individuals who elevate a wonderful stay at La Barchessa from the merely excellent to the extraordinary. They are delightful, witty, intelligent people, and it was an enormous privilege to have met and spent time with them. They also knew exactly how to strike the right balance between socialising with us and leaving us in privacy. Truly a holiday that will live long in the memory.

A great choice
Ideally located to access rail and road links to explore this beautiful region of Emelia Romagna. La Barchessa is an oasis to relax in, to enjoy the beautiful grounds, the rose gardens, so much wildlife - Bird song, red squirrels, cookoos, hares, hawks, deer, Willy the heron & his friend coming into feed at the fish pools, sunsets. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, leaving was a bit sad & saying good bye to both Stefano and Margherita who are such good hosts, very helpful and very kind.

Peaceful, warm and friendly
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the renovated barn in Quattro Castella. Our hosts, Stefano and Margherita were absolutely wonderful, giving great recommendations and even offering a welcome aperitif. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the surrounding vineyards provide a great secluded and peaceful feeling. Yet it is only a short distance to great restaurants and places of interest. We highly recommend this place.

A wonderful week of fine weather in the company of our favourite property owners.
Our second stay at the property was a repeat success. The situation is lovely, with easy access through the vineyards. The house itself is comfortably appointed, in a charmingly old-fashioned way, but with all the necessary amenities. We still had much that was new to us to explore in the surrounding countryside and towns. Stefano and Margherita are wonderful hosts, and their command of English means that they are always able to provide helpful advice.

A great property, full of character and Stefano and Margherita were great hosts
We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at La Barchessa; the property is extremely comfortable and full of great features and furnishings. It is comprehensively equipped with all the utensils/crockery you could possibly need. Stefano and Margherita were extremely hospitable and ensured we had a thoroughly relaxing stay. The property is in a great location for exploring the surrounding towns, but equally allows you to stay more local if you prefer - we went for a couple of bike rides around nearby villages on the bikes that are provided, you can also go for walks on the estate itself and the pool at La Barchessa was very welcome in the hot weather! We would certainly like to visit La Barchessa again in the future.

Return to "La Barchessa"
We have just returned from our third two-week stay at La Barchessa. Stephano and Margherita greeted us like old friends and made us especially welcome. Their wonderful hospitality, interest in our welfare and the friendly, relaxed atmosphere they create make it a pleasure to spend time there. The apartment is spacious, spotless and very well-equipped with the mesh on the windows keeping the mosquitoes out and the ceiling fan in the bedroom helping to keep you cool at night. The pool is a godsend after a hot day's sightseeing and having a drink and eating out on the patio in the peace and quiet is just wonderful. La Barchessa makes a great base from which to make day trips to visit the centro storicos of the main towns from Piacenza down to Bologna and up to Mantova plus all the incredible castles dotted around the region. You can also drive up into the hills south west of Parma/Reggio/Modena for some great scenery. Just be careful to use the internet to check opening times of places of interest before setting off - some are open at weekends only and almost always closed for two hours' siesta at lunchtime. Stephano's folders of notes and guides to the area are fantastically comprehensive and extremely helpful. Do visit the pizzeria in Via Roma in Quattro Castella and sample a gelato from the gelateria in the square. Thank you, Stephano and Margherita, for a great stay again. We would urge anyone contemplating a visit to Emilia Romagna to look very carefully at staying in La Barchessa - you won't be disappointed! Craig and Maureen

A charming and comfortable "home" on the road!
We loved our recent stay at La Barchessa. From the moment we arrived, Stefano and Margherita were very accommodating hosts. The cottage, charming and spotless, was a very welcome retreat each day after visiting area castles, churches and nearby cities. We enjoyed the pool and sitting in the different areas around the beautiful and spacious property. The kitchen was generously equipped and made cooking enjoyable. Stefano was easily available to answer questions and give suggestions, in addition to their vast amount of information located in the cottage. We were so glad that we chose La Barchessa to be our "home" while in the Reggio-Emilia area.

On each occasion we have all had a very good time.The cottage is beautifully situated in lovely rural surroundings with a tranquil ambiance. The cottage is well equipped and our hosts could not have been more helpful or friendly Parma and Reggio are easily reached and the region has abundant excellent restaurants.

Friendly welcoming hosts and a delightful property in an excellent location.
Stefano & Margherita - and other members of their family - were the friendliest hosts we have met in 30 years of taking holiday properties in France & Italy. Margherita speaks very good English and Stefano is positively fluent. The property is easy to find and to access - not always the case in rural Italy. The quarter-converted farm building offers very good quality accommodation on a large estate, surrounded by Lambrusco vines, and comes equipped with all the little extras that help a holiday along - including Sky HD TV, which was appreciated during Euro 2016. Located in the flatlands, road access to major centres like Parma and Modena is as easy as it will ever be, while the hills to the south allow instant escape into a quieter, more varied Italian landscape.

Des vacances en Emilie Romagne tres appréciées Notre appartement indépendant était extrêmement propre , un lit très confortable, une cuisine où il ne manquait absolument rien pour cuisiner une terrasse très agréable avec Barbecue, transats .. Nous avons aussi adoré la piscine dans le parc quand nous rentrions de nos balades . Stefano et Margherita sont vraiment des hôtes exceptionnels , nous avons passé quelques soirées avec eux dans la bonne humeur . Les renseignements qu’ils nous ont fournis sur les commerces , les restaurants , les bons produits à acheter , les visites … n’étaient pas forcement dans nos guides touristiques et pourtant nous n’avons jamais été déçus !
