Piacevole soggiorno in montagna

Il casolare si trova in un complesso di poche case, in posizione comoda ai servizi. L'arredamento e' essenziale ma non manca nulla. Il panorama e' meraviglioso e l'esterno della casa estremamente godevole. Internet e Wi-Fi disponibili e ben funzionanti. I letti avrebbero bisgno di essere rivisti: i materassi mostrano segni di usura. Al piano inferiore e' consigliabile installare un deumidificatore. Non c'e' la piscina! Nonostante cio', consiglio caldamente la visita ed il pernottamento.

Villa perfetta per stare in compagnia

Una bella casa, storica, con alcuni difetti normali per la sua "età". Camere belle con materiali ancora del tempo che possono cigolare ancora un po' ma molto suggestivi. L'ambientazione è bellissima, apparte la strada per arrivare 😅, e molto aperta all'esplorazione. In generale una bella esperienza tra amici, solo una cosa: meglio chiarire prima che ci possono essere oggetti all'interno della casa che, essendo storici ed emotivamente molto legati ai proprietari, è meglio non toccare.

Dragodena - wundersamer Ort...!

Dies ist ein ganz besonderes Haus - wir haben es respektiert, sogar geliebt. Es gibt viel visuell Schönes, drinnen und draußen! Elektrizität wurde auf sensible Weise eingeführt. Aber… es könnte so viel besser sein! Es ist etwas heruntergekommen und einige Bereiche sind nie wirklich renoviert worden, wie z. Bsp. die beiden Zimmer im Untergeschoss, die unangenehm unvollendet / improvisiert sind. Schlafzimmermöbel überall sind ganz veraltet, mit kaputten Teilen oder Bemalung, die man lieber nicht hätte. Unsere Gruppe war aufgrund von Covid-Fällen kleiner als geplant - wären alle gekommen, hätten wir Probleme mit Betten gehabt: einige der Doppelbetten sind ziemlich klein (und nicht alle Gäste sind Paare), einige Matratzen schlecht und hart, Bettgestelle improvisiert... Die Küche könnte auch modernisiert werden - sie ist gut mit Töpfen, Geschirr, Besteck ausgestattet - aber Ofen und Geschirrspüler sind klein, die Betonspüle etwas abstoßend, der Pizzaofen nicht zu gebrauchen. Ein Sitzplatz draußen fehlt, man kann nur ein paar wackelige, kaputte Stühle aus dem Keller mitnehmen und versuchen, es sich ohne Tisch bequem zu machen. Wie schön wäre eine Terrasse mit Tisch und Stühlen! Im Badezimmer im Obergeschoss lief das Wasser aus der Dusche kaum ab, aber auch nachdem unsere freundliche Gastgeberin den Abfluss gereinigt hatte, war Geruch von Abflussrohren im ganzen Raum wahrnehmbar. Bitte investieren Sie etwas, um Ihren Gästen den Urlaub angenehmer zu machen. Wie gesagt, wir haben das Haus immer noch geliebt und eine glückliche Woche dort verbracht. Aber wir sind eine anspruchslose Gruppe...

Calm farm in the countryside

Remote farm in the Italian country side. I can say this house has a certain charm and a lot of potential. Upper rooms are nice. The house is a mix of old furniture with a bohemian accent. The kitchen is very small. Impossible to really cook for lot of people. (The kitchen sink is from the house origin, look nice. But really small). Also you need to really pack well any food as rats are helping themselves. There are too many beast in the house for the room in the lower floor to be usable. (Beware of the rats). The dining room have a table for 12. (Not 20). Honestly, this house with a few more renovation (and pest control) would become very nice.

Maison de caractère manque d’entretien

Beaucoup de point positifs pour cette maison mais malheureusement elle ne correspond pas a l’annonce. Le gérant est très sympathique,le paysage autour est très beau. Il nous été difficile de séjourner dans la maison a 16 avec des enfants de 5 a 14 ans.La maison n’est pas sécurisée,les gardes corps sont trop bas a l’étage supérieur et un puit de 3 mètres dans le jardin est accessible. La piscine est a 11 minutes en voiture,dans un agriturismo. Les équipements de cuisine sont insuffisants,gaziniere lave vaisselle lavabo tout est trop petit. Les lits ne font pas 150 de large mais 120 cm. Pas de table suffisamment grande pour manger a 16 en même temps. Dedans comme dehors. Pas de mobilier de jardin. Malgré une bonne volonté de la personne qui nettoie la maison,c’était très sale. Problèmes de fausse sceptique pour couronner le tout! Abritel n’a pas aidé de manière efficace mais le propriétaire s’est montré compréhensif et a pris quelques mesures pour les locataires d’après! Désolés pour ce commentaire mais il est important de respecter la description d’une annonce surtout quand on fait 1500 km pour venir dans cet endroit.

Beautiful location in old, rustic house

We stayed with friends in this house near Zocca. we liked the basement where we could have fun, and the rustic look of the house. We had a wonderful week! Please mind that the pool, and two other rooms included on the advert are not included in the accommodation. This could have been listed more clearly, but Paul was willing to meet us halfway there so that was nice.

Urlaub in Zocca

Wir haben diesen Sommer hier in Zocca verbracht. Das Haus und die Lage war für uns sehr gut, da es keine direkten Nachbarn gab und wir das Haus so nur für uns hatten. Allerdings ist die Lage sonst eher abgelegen und nur mit Autos erreichbar. Die Kommunikation mit dem Besitzer des Hauses war super und er war immer erreichbar.

Magical!

Dragodena is a pastoral paradise! My children foraged ripe cherries and wildflowers from the surrounding hillsides. The house was gorgeous, peaceful, with an ancient elegance, and with beautiful layers of its former lives left open to the discoverer. A truly magical experience.

Rustic quiet and beautiful

Absolutely a perfect place for a large group. We attended EIMA and had up to 8 people per night all sleeping comfortably. Mountain and valley views are breathtaking. Hope to stay there next EIMA

A Wonderful Stay, Interesting Home, and Simply Amazing Host

We had a wonderful stay at Dragadona in Emilia Romagna. We are a group of four couples traveling for several weeks in northern Italy. We spent nearly a week in this lovely house built in the 1430’s—what an experience! The location is good for touring the many wonderful places in this area. The countryside is beautiful. It is nearly impossible to describe adequately how gracious and helpful the owner/host was. He helped us out of a problem with disabled rental car that took hours of his time (above and beyond hardly describes this), provided great tips on sites to visit and on shopping and restaurants. Paul made this a truly memorable week. The house easily accommodated 8 of us—with loads of shared space. It’s been lovingly brought into modern times, with a respect for authenticity and its 500 year history. He has preserved many of the historical elements of the house and furnished it with items that suit its country and rustic charm, including the kitchen appliances which we found adequate for our needs (There is a full size refrigerator—and a new clothes washer). We heartily recommend this peaceful location for its relatively access to so many wonderful sites, for the history of the house itself, and for the delightful setting to relax after a day of touring.

ottima posizione e struttura confortevole

Servizio ed organizzazione ottima. Il rapporto qualita'/prezzo impeccabile. Noi eravamo in 20 con diversi bambini che hanno potuto giocare liberamente dentro e attorno la casa. Stanze comode, bagni di classe. Unico appunto dei quattro che hanno dormito nelle stanze nello scantinato: l'umidita' ... ma siamo nel bolognese e non ci siamo sorpresi piu' di tanto. Raccomandato senza esitazione!

Urlaub wie im Mittelalter

Das ca. 600 Jahre alte Bauernhaus hat einen rustikalen Charme. Es liegt mitten in den Bergen mit wunderbarer Aussicht, vor allem, wenn man unter der Aussendusche steht. Wir waren mit insgesamt 16 Leuten dort. Um gemeinsam zu essen, war es sehr eng und wir mußten noch einen Tisch anstellen an die lange Tafel. Auch kam es morgens zu längeren Wartezeiten im Badbereich, da es nur drei Badezimmer gibt. Die Doppelbetten sind sehr schmal, was bei Jugendlichen nicht weiter problematisch ist, bei Erwachsenen aber nicht gut gepaßt hat. Der Vermieter war überaus nett und hat uns sehr freundlich begrüßt und uns alles gezeigt. Der wunderbare Pool, den wir jederzeit kostenfrei nutzen konnten, ist ca 10 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Man kann aber auch zu Fuß hingehen in ca. 30 Minuten. Der Rückweg geht dann schneller, da es bergab geht zurück. Besonders gefallen hat uns der orginal Pizzaofen, den wir zweimal angefeuert haben.

AExperience the Italian vintage country side!

Exhilarating and a must experience for anyone wishing to explore the wild vintage countryside in Colli Bolognesi, Italy. The lovingly restored old farmhouse accommodated our group of different international friends of over 20 (and more during the day) so comfortably, with heated up bedrooms and the entertainment sala "Cantina". The surroundings are inspiring for walks and exploring. The major appreciation of Italy is the exquisite food which was spectacularly presented and carefully prepared by Alice, a young exuberant lady, while her husband Sol made sure our comfort was not compromised in any way. We could not have asked for more. Daniela C.

Stunningly Beautiful and Perfectly Located

My wife and I loved our two week stay in this magnificent 600 year old house. It provided a perfect combination of rustic charm and modern convenience. This huge house served as our home base for our adventures throughout the region, and it was always wonderful to return to this peaceful retreat via the winding hilly roads. The landscape all around is breathtaking with wonderful little villages near-by. We can't wait to return to Italy and would definitely come back to this special place.
