Perfetto
Our stay at Alessandra and Raffaele’s B&B was perfect. It is a quiet getaway. We stayed for 2 nights. Great hosts and made us feel very welcome. The house itself is full of character. We enjoyed the splendid Balsamic tour of Fabio’s place and Raffaele acting as our translator. Raffale spent some good time chatting with us during our stay and we learnt so much of their family. Do visit Peace in Po another recommendation from Raffaele. It’s close by and a perfect way to unwind in the evening by the river. Their two dogs are so very playful and complemented the family very well. We enjoyed the night cap (the homemade walnut liquor)with Alessandra and Raffaele and Alexandra’s baked goodies in the morning for breakfast. Grazie Ragazzi

The owners are very kind, and also helpful with suggestions for planning day trips. Their home is a restored 400 year old farmhouse, and is nicely decorated with antiques representative of the era.

Pleasant stay during late November
We enjoyed a short but very pleasant stay. Location is good for visiting the area and the owners are very helpful and provided excellent restaurant recommendations. We enjoyed the nice breakfast including freshly baked morning cake. My kids very much enjoyed having the 2 dogs and a cat around too.

Good Stay
Rafael and Alessandra were both very helpful which made my stay a pleasure. They changed their schedules to accommodate my work schedule and for that I am appreciative.

Once in a life time opportunity I want to do again and again!
Alessandra and Raffaele welcomed my wife and me into their beautifully restored home --and the wonderful experiences soon began. During the days we were expertly directed to the best of Reggio Emilia sights and adventures. But the true value of this stay was to be had in front of the fire in the dining room; the family shared of themselves in a truly remarkable way, food was superb and conversation fun and stimulating -and in English for our benefit. Dogs were "active", which we loved; if that would be a problem I am sure you could asked for them to be put away during your stay. I didn't remember that breakfast would be provided in the posting that I responded to, however it was and it was excellent. Dinner may be requested, on our visit it was the best of seasonal garden offerings and a good value. Any future trip to Italia must include a stay at the "house of plums".

An incredible historic farmhouse in the heart of Reggio-Emilia, with amazing hospitality
Such a beautiful home! Built hundreds of years ago and recently restored by Rafael and Alessandra. So many wonderful antiques and a fascinating library of old books that Rafael showed me. And many of the floors and features of the house are original! This is a charming, peaceful, country home in the heart of Reggio-Emilia, with some amazing restaurants just minutes away. Also, the ancient town of Sabbionetta, which Raffael recommended is just a short drive. Rafael and Alessandra were incredible, greeting us with cappuccinos by a blazing fire after we drove through a terrible storm, some wine and local Parmesan with housemade mustarda and green tomato jam. They gave us an excellent restaurant recommendation for dinner. And the next morning we awoke to a homemade breakfast... chestnuts on an open fire, homemade Italian pancakes, scrambled eggs and fresh squeezed blood orange juice and fresh baked pastries. To say that Rafael and Alessandra are hospitable is an understatement. They go above and beyond. I only wish we could have stayed longer! You will not be disappointed if you stay at the House of Plums. A once in a life time experience.

A fabulous country/farm experience with an extraordinary family!
"House of Plums" graciously accommodated our traveling band of 5 women with spacious room accommodations and an authentic country experience. Raffaele had such patience... helping with directions, answering zillions of questions and even taking us to a weekend country market fair. His beautiful wife Alessandra made scrumptious breakfasts (Raffaele had "latte" duty) while 7 yr old Luca practiced his English. After breakfast we departed to nearby Parma for sightseeing but we always looked forward to returning to the warm hospitality found at "House of Plums".

Il B&B si trova in campagna a circa 30 km da Reggio Emilia in un vecchio casolare. Nell’insieme la struttura è piacevole anche se un po’ rustica e bisognosa di un restyling sia all’interno che al giardino. La colazione è varia ed abbondante. Sicuramente una nota positiva è la gentilezza e la disponibilità dei proprietari.

Herzlich und einzigartig
Diese Unterkunft ist wirklich etwas ganz Besonderes! Man wird von den Gastgebern nicht nur herzlichst empfangen und versorgt, sondern fühlt sich auch noch in eine andere Welt versetzt. Es ist alles mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und man genießt das Frühstück in einer historischen Scheune mit großen Fenstern im Garten. Die Kinder konnten dann noch unter dem riesigen Walnussbaum schaukeln und mit den Hunden spielen. Vielen Dank für diesen traumhaften Start in unseren Urlaub, Alessandra und Raffaele!

Großartige Gastgeber, gerne wieder!
Wir kamen etwas früher, was aber überhaupt kein Problem war und wurden sehr herzlich von Alessandra und Raffaele empfangen. Das Ambiente ist wunderschön und zwischen den mit viel Liebe ausgesuchten Antiquitäten, haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Den ersten Abend hat Raffaeles Vater uns sogar zur Pizzeria gefahren. Das Frühstück ließ keine Wünsche offen, alles in allem, sind Sie die perfekten Gastgeber und waren sehr bemüht uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite zu stehen. Die ganze Familie hat sich sehr wohl gefühlt.
