Dating back to this early 20th century, this farmhouse is the perfect blend of old and new. Located in the Po Valley, it's ideal both for large groups who want to explore the region, and those who just want to relax in perfect peace. The parquet flooring, oak stairs, and wrought iron chandeliers add a traditional charm to the interior – the host has taken care to retain many of the original features. The living room is home to an impressive majolica stove, as is the dining room, and you'll love admiring the exquisite craftsmanship over a glass of local wine. Outside, the flowering garden invites you to take a stroll before you head for a dip in the unique swimming pool, adorned with mosaic work. And, if you're a fan of alfresco dining, then the outdoor entertaining space on the terrace is perfect for serving up your culinary creations. The surrounding Po Valley is a fertile area where you can walk, cycle, or even horse ride through nature. It's also home to several interesting cities, including Cremona, which is just twenty minutes away by car. Cremona is famous for its violin making, and the impressive Piazza del Commune. And, if you fancy traveling a little further, then both Parma and Piacenza are under an hour away.
