Liked: Super friendly hosts, Roberto and M. Small site in lovely rural hillside setting. Very much enjoyed our stay in this “off - grid”sustainable set up. Cooking, BBQ, kitchen area open to all. About 7 mins drive to local station for easy rail access to Bologna. Roberto has big ideas for the site. We wish him every success.
Disliked: New pitches still bedding in, so levelling ramps useful.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your review, it was a pleasure to host you these two days, we hope to see you again for the summer season and for new holidays here in Italy! Grazie mille :)

Liked: Ci è piaciuta la possibilità di campeggiare in un luogo a stretto contatto con la natura, tranquillo e con la possibilità di fare escursioni molto belle. Abbiamo apprezzato i servizi eco-friendly disponibili e la possibilità di accendere il fuoco. Torneremo per un soggiorno un pò più lungo! ;)
Disliked: La strada per arrivare è un pò ripida e dissestata ma se ce l'ho fatta io è alla portata di tutti

From the manager: Grazie Anna, tornate quando volete, siete le benvenute! Un saluto dalle colline di Bologna, a presto!
Solo nos gustó el entorno. Lo demás nos pareció precario e insuficiente…

Liked: Solo nos gustó el entorno. Lo demás nos pareció precario e insuficiente para lo que se paga. Lo que anuncian es una verdad a medias. Ellos muy agradables, pero les falta mucho para poder denominarse camping.

From the manager: [Español abajo] Hi Patricia, we are very surprised by the review, we talked together in the morning and you told us (your partner) that our space was "hermoso", so I don't really understand the reason for the two stars. I wrote you some instructions to get here, asking you the time, and you didn't answer me. I sent you some tips on what to do in the surrounding area, and you didn't even say thank you. The bathroom is cleaned regularly 3-4 times a day, the kitchen too (all shared for free for those who don't have the possibility to cook). We are not a "camping", and we don't want to become one. We are a farmhouse surrounded by nature, where there is no noise, no noise pollution and no chaos of normal campsites. I recommend always looking at the photos before booking, and also reading the description. Have a good continuation.
Hola Patricia, nos sorprende mucho la reseña, hablamos juntas por la mañana y nos dijiste (a tu pareja) que nuestro espacio era "hermoso", así que no entiendo muy bien el por qué de las dos estrellas. Te escribí unas instrucciones para llegar hasta aquí, preguntándote la hora, y no me respondiste. Te envié algunos consejos sobre qué hacer cerca y ni siquiera dijiste gracias. El baño se limpia regularmente 3-4 veces al día, al igual que la cocina (todo se comparte gratis para aquellos que no saben cocinar). No somos un "camping" y no queremos serlo. Somos una masía rodeada de naturaleza, donde no hay ruido, ni contaminación acústica ni caos de los campings normales. Recomiendo mirar siempre las fotos antes de reservar, y también leer la descripción. Buena continuación.

Liked: The owners were charming…some home made bread was proffered & in the morning, an espresso :)
Disliked: The only negative was the signage to the site.
We got to the bottom of a gravel road & just needed the name of the campsite to give us the confidence to ascend it!

From the manager: Hi Kim, thanks for your visit, we are working hard to improve our micro camping, and a signage will be placed very soon! Have a nice day and thanks for the suggestion!
Very friendly family site

Liked: Heerlijke klimaat neutrale spot. Geen licht of lawaai vervuiling.
Prachtig uitzicht.
Midden in de natuur. Heerlijk stil, alleen met natuurlijke geluiden zoals krekels.
Disliked: De, wat ik noem, Mitches in de avond. Maar dat kan aan het windstille weer hebben gelegen.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, we are glad to host you here in our Cascina, yes sometimes there could be some mosquitoes and what we call in italian "pappataci", but we are in the middle of the nature, so it's quite more a question of wild than of wind :) Hope to see you next year when we will be ready with our new natural pool!
