A lovely place - Stay with dinner and tasting of balsamic vinegar. Lovely place located in the hills a few steps from Castelvetro Modenese. Elegant and well-kept rooms, spacious and well furnished. Excellent dinner with quality products. But the tasting of their traditional balsamic vinegar and seasonings, are really excellent. The owner accompanied us in the vinegar factory showing great professionalism and love for his work, quality product at honest prices, worth a visit, bravo.

Highly recommended - The hotel is small and very familiar but with everything you need and, above all, in a wonderful location, surrounded by hills and vineyards. We had dinner there and it was a success: they put a small gazpacho starter courtesy of the house, a very powerful Alfredo pasta, some sweet and sour pork ribs that were disintegrating in the mouth and a vinegared beef; with a bottle of their wine, a cream of mascarpone and a helping of cake, it turned out a perfect dinner for just over 120€. The right breakfast although I missed natural juice and some recent pastries. I recommend visiting the village of Castelvetro di Modena, which is a story.

Private informative visit - We had a private tour of the manufactory. That's very interesting. From mid-September to mid-October is harvest and you can experience many steps of balsamic production live. Tasting was extensive. Very pleasant guided tour by a family member of the owners

Exceptional and Authentic Experience - Excellent hospitality given by our host and very informative. The family runs a small hotel, restaurant and vineyard for Balsamico. The product is delicious and even have a private label Rose Lambrusco.

Authentic and truly family run - This tour was great. So informative. A lot of fun. Very intimate and personal. Great value as well.
Claudio was so knowledgeable and left as much time and space as you needed/wanted to ask questions. You saw the process from start to finish. The balsamic was so good too. The tasting did not disappoint. A lot of fun to do solo or with a group. I did it with my girlfriend and one other couple. We were there for almost 3 hours
