Located on the Reggio Emilia Apennines in an ancient and peaceful medieval village, Casa Sole is ideal both for stays immersed in nature and for historical and artistic tourism. Built on old barns with stone walls, ceilings with exposed beams and lots of windows, Casa Sole is bright and cool in summer, warm and romantic in winter with radiators and wood stove.

Discretion and privacy are the basis of this enchanting stay: I live in another house in the village so I will be available at all times, but only upon request, preferably via message if not urgent. I am an interpreter by profession, I have worked many years in the tourism sector and in organizing events so I am available to help organize excursions in the area and trips to Italian cities. All information is provided free of charge.
