I really liked this place. I showed up early and was let in. Yes, it was hard to find but not that hard, and feels really isolated when in fact it is a twenty minute bike ride from the center of town. The owner lent me a nice bike that I used all day and had a lovely time in Ferrara. I would come back here anytime.
Tiziana and Dominique are very kind people and take excellent care of their guests. Everything in this B&B is high class: very nice common room where you can get together (it was 4 of us), everything was spotless, bed linens and towels were changed daily, breakfast was the best of 5 places on our trip and had high quality cheeses, sausages, yogurts, ricottas, cereals, juices, home baked goods, jams, etc - everything very fresh and very tasty and plenty of it.
We had problem with our rental car - they helped us a good deal to call to our rental company, to discuss everything with tow truck guy who came since he spoke only Italian.
Excellent place to stay.
Minor thing: a little difficult to find - so use the map which owners provide on their website.
Last 2 miles were on road which was unpaved at the end and at night time is difficult to drive since it is one lane road and has no lights.
We stayed there only 1 night…place is quite nice inside, nice garden, modern rooms…but considering 1.5 km of broken road leading to it (beware of huge holes) and a couple of strange industrial buildings surrounded by barbed wire…it gave a strange feeling of staying in an a slightly artificial place…it was not far away from Ferrara, but you need to have a car to reach the city…
When we came around 3 pm everything was shut down and nobody around… after 15 min the owner appeared and without even a slightest attempt to be polite and apologise for not being around, she started to register our personal data…she was sitting… us standing in front of her…wanted to have all our details like home address etc, as apparently all this data needs to be sent to the police office to check in case we are criminals…it is send also to third organisations (like regional statistic tourism offices) and it seems like in latter case, guests have to be informed where their personal data is sent, but probably in italy…or maybe just in this place things were different…another little detail – normally guests are supposed to sign the registration form, but we haven’t been asked…
Breakfast is schedules from 8 to 9:30 (found it a bit early for people on holidays) and check out time is 10:30…during breakfast we were pointed out our places… at the same table with other 4 people…probably the idea was we had to socialise, but if someone just want to have a quite breakfast? …food is nice.. not great choice, but good quality, coffee was good…
Must admit there were positive moments, but overall impression made me think I’ll never come back there…
Unfortunately, we had only two nights to spend at this pretty farm. Our room was located in a separate duplex cottage next to the other accommodations. The decor was lovely, fresh, and the room very comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was amazing - homemade cakes, pies, breads, good coffee, meat, and cheese. Not your usual Italian breakfast! The only drawback was the location which we found very difficult to find. A phone call and help from strangers on a street corner finally got us to the right location. There is about 1.5 km of gravel road to travel on before reaching the farm.
