The location is definitely off the beaten path, and you would need a car to access it. However, it is a unique experience b/c the location is a working Baslamic Acetaia, which you can take a tour of and purchase some of the vinegar products. The rooms were very spacious and airy, with lots of amenities (in-room fridge). The breakfast is just a prepared box (sweet or savory) and a kitchen for coffee, tea, etc, is self-serve (which was fine for me traveling alone).

Check-out time is 10 am, so if you are looking to sleep in, this isn't the place for you. However, I was able to check out and then relax on the property, taking the tour, so it was perfectly fine for me.

If you are looking for a quiet retreat near Modena, La Cascina del Balsamico is the perfect place. Set in the countryside, this secluded farmhouse offers a true taste of Emilia-Romagna living. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed, allowing you to relax and unwind fully. Check-in was warm and welcoming, with friendly staff who were genuinely attentive and happy to share tips on local experiences. The setting is peaceful, surrounded by fields and nature, yet conveniently located for exploring Modena and the surrounding region. Overall, it’s a great stay if you want to slow down, soak in the countryside, and explore the rich culinary and cultural heritage of the area. Highly recommended.

A note for light sleepers: there is a train line nearby, so it’s best to keep the windows closed on the side facing the tracks at night and open them towards the fields to enjoy the fresh air and quiet views.

Lovely stay at a traditional balsamic vinegar estate! The rooms are wonderful - clean, comfortable, modern, with multiple amenities. The staff were very professional and gave us a free tour and tasting of the balsamic which was absolutely delicious. The location was great, surrounded by green pastures, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but reachable within minutes. We decided to stay another day! Highly recommended.

Nothing

Great place, beautiful location, and clean room. Really enjoyed our stay.

It seemed like a couple amenities were missing. They had free coffee but no milk, not much lighting at the tables, and the snack box in our room said we would be charged 5$ for each snack but the box was empty. Hope we don't get charged. I was hoping we could buy some balsamic vinegar.

the place is wonderful, quiet and the details are amazing. towels are fluffy, beds are comfy and everything shows the owners care about their guests. We also had the chance to visit the "Acetaia" and to know the history of the family and how the production of balsamic vinegar started. The product is amazing and really one of the excellence points of Modena.

Lovely, quiet location. Clean room with all amenities. Large garden with plenty of seating. Safe secure parking. Breakfast box delivered the night before as no staff stay in the building which I think has 3 rooms. Plenty of food in the boxes. You have your own fridge to store this in and tea/coffee available downstairs at all times.

Nice location lovely staff interesting very good room

They did their best with breakfast left in the fridge the day before but really they need to supply fresh bread not a bag from the day before and fresh milk not UHT and there were no coffee pods left for us as others had used them .

The location was perfect for us as we didn’t want to be in town. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This property produces balsamic vinegar and we had a quick tour and tasting after breakfast which was so interesting and unique! The breakfast was delicious, rooms were clean and well appointed and the onsite parking was easy.

An excellent accommodation with helpful staff, a great location and beautiful setting. Big rooms and comfortable facilities.

Everything was in order and very clean and comfortable

It was far from everything you need a car. Staff were very polite and professional but not too friendly.
