THE ROOMS

The four double rooms at Ca' Nobili are conceived as a tribute to the four important women of our family: great-grandmother Ida, grandmother Carla, grandmother Maria and mother Renza. All rooms are equipped with a double bed and a private bathroom. The stone walls and wooden ceilings coexist with modern design elements to offer perfect quiet and comfort.

We are pleased to open the doors of Ca' Nobili and share with our guests the experience of an unforgettable holiday in Emilia Romagna, where the present embraces the past in harmony.

Ida 

The warm, embracing tone of beige and rust creates an atmosphere of comfort and elegance. This room is a true retreat, enriched by exposed ancient beams that add a touch of authenticity and rustic charm.

The sun's rays gently penetrate through the windows, illuminating the room and accentuating the beauty of the details. You can also enjoy romantic evenings on the private terrace, an enchanting place where candles are lit to create a magical atmosphere while the soothing chanting of cicadas plays in the background.

The bathroom, decorated with emerald green tiles recalling the colours of the surrounding nature outside the window, offers a spacious shower for moments of relax and regeneration.

In every detail of the room and bathroom is reflected our love of nature, creating a peaceful and cosy ambience that will make you feel at home.

Maria 

The spacious room has a unique headboard made from an authentic antique door that has undergone a masterful renovation to become the centrepiece of the room. This piece of history makes the ambience charming with a special times-gone-by atmosphere.

The bathroom is a celebration of modernity, covered in white tiles with a large shower offering comfort and functionality.

Renza

The room is blessed with the breath-taking view on the valley below. The warm beige and brown tones create a cosy, welcoming atmosphere.

Imagine spending your time in this room, relaxing on a comfortable hanging swing chair by the window, sipping a good cup of tea or reading a book.

The bright white bathroom has a large shower where you can regenerate after a day spent exploring the beautiful surroundings.

Carla

The elegant and spacious double room features exposed beams, parquet floors and stone walls that blend harmoniously with the warm mustard and brown tones of the furniture. This combination creates a feeling of cosiness and warmth, inviting in an ambience of pure comfort.

At times upon entering the room, you can smell the scent of the old fireplace housed within its walls before the renovation. This touch of history makes the room even more fascinating, creating a continuity between the past and the present.

The white bathroom is bright and fresh, while the large shower is decorated with colourful flowers.

SURROUNDINGS

What to do and see

Ca' Nobili boasts a fortunate location, on the right bank of the Enza river, equidistant from both Reggio Emilia and Parma, and only 70 km away from the Cinque Terre. The high scenic value of the area, rich in history and nature, has led to its becoming a UNESCO-recognised Man and Biosphere Reserve.

Our rental holiday home is located in the centre of an area rich in historical, cultural, naturalistic, eno-gastronomic and sporting points of interest: it is therefore the ideal starting point for day trips of various kinds for a dream vacation in Emilia Romagna.

For trekking, mountain-biking and e-biking enthusiasts, several CAI (Italian Alpine Club) paths in the vicinity of the farmhouse can help you discover the most interesting corners of the area. The Enza, Tassaro and Tassobbio valleys frame the villages and are ideal for peaceful walks. The route of the Sentiero dei Ducati, a well-known trekking route in Emilia, passes just nearby. We will be happy to provide our guests with details and information on the trails with the help of authorised local guides.

Several Matildic Castles can be reached in a few minutes by car: Canossa, Rossena, Bianello, Sarzano, Carpineti. We recommend inquiring in advance about opening days and times.

The impressive Pietra di Bismantova, the most distinctive mountain in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, is only a 20-minute drive away. With a few more kilometers, it is possible to explore Mount Ventasso together with the suggestive Lake Calamone, in the breath-taking views of the ridge.

Also nearby, is the Campo Pianelli Archaeological Park, which represents one of the most significant Bronze Age areas in the province of Reggio Emilia.

In about an hour and a half's drive you can also reach the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, where you can experience a fascinating journey between the past and the future to discover the prestigious Prancing Horse emblem.

Nearby you can enjoy a taste of Italy's most renowned traditional cuisine from a gastronomic 'stars' such as Parmigiano Reggiano to Traditional Balsamic Vinegar, but also capelletti, tortelli, mushrooms, tagliatelle, erbazzone, without forgetting all the other famous Emilian cured meats accompanied by gnocco fritto, tigelle and a glass of traditional Lambrusco. And last but not least the famous zuppa inglese (which, despite its name, has Emilian origins), rice cakes, and tagliatelle.

EXPERIENCES

Not just a holiday

Small things can enrich the quality of our lives. Breaking the rhythm, getting out of the routine and paying attention to ourselves are useful ways to transform our daily routine and recharge our energy. Ca' Nobili offers different kinds of experiences thanks to a network of professionals working in the area, for an original and unforgettable vacation in Emilia. We like the idea of introducing our guests to the area’s local dynamics and contributing to the progress and well-being of the community of which we are a part.

- Pasta fresca workshop: cappelletti, tortelli, tagliatelle, ravioli... there are no less than 23 formats of handmade pasta originating in Emilia. What we offer is a fun and convivial experience to discover the secrets of handmade pasta together with a real “resdora”-  a woman expert in Emilian recipes and the guardian of local traditions. 

- Mountain bikes / e-bikes: for outdoor adventure enthusiasts who want to explore extraordinary landscapes, we offer the opportunity to rent mountain bikes or e-bikes leaving directly from Ca' Nobili. Our guests will thus be able to discover the surroundings on their own or through tailored guided tours, based on individual preferences and the level of challenge they wish to face. The service is offered by local professionals and specialised guides.

- Guided trekking: walkabouts in the surroundings accompanied by experienced guides from the local Club Alpino Italiano (CAI). Each excursion is planned considering the skill level, preferences and pace of guests, ensuring a safe, educational and exciting trekking experience.

- Parmigiano Reggiano dairy visit: visiting a dairy is a real discovery tour around Parmigiano Reggiano which has been produced for almost a thousand years with only three natural ingredients: milk, salt and rennet. Our guests will witness all the stages of milk processing, from cooking to salting. They will also be able to visit the maturing warehouses where the cheeses rest while waiting for the twelfth month when they will be evaluated by experts to be branded and reach the right maturity, 24 months and more. After the visit, the dairy organises a Parmigiano Reggiano tasting.

- Farm visit: a guided tour of a local producer of milk for the production of Parmigiano Reggiano. During the visit, it will be possible to observe at first hand the care and attention used in the creation of an ingredient that is fundamental to the quality of the precious typical product of the Emilian tradition.

- Massages: upon request, massage sessions given by local professionals are available at our farmhouse. During summer, we offer the option of outdoor treatments, caressed by the breeze and in the silence of nature, for a moment of absolute peace.

- Wine tasting: upon request, guests can visit a small winery specialising in the production of local wines. The owner himself will tell you about the secrets of this ancient and fascinating world, while strolling through the vineyards or visiting the cellar, and tasting of typical local products and wines.

- Armochromy sessions: a fun and light moment specially dedicated to our guests who - thanks to an image consultant and the technique of coloured drapes - will identify their own palette of 'friendly colours' that enhance their figure. Small suggestions on clothes, make-up and hair colours to heighten your image and make you more beautiful.

- Car rental with driver: for guests wishing to move around and visit the surroundings without worries, an external car rental service with driver is available.
