At the Brugnolo

To run and play free and safely, to be surprised by the sudden flight of a pheasant or by the unexpected spring of a hare can be an exciting experience for the kids.

They who are fond of story and arts will find Il Brugnolo as an exceptional point of reference as it is situated in the middle of Emilia between Modena and Reggio, precisely in Scandiano, birthplace of Boiardo, author of the poem Orlando Innamorato (Orlando in love).

From here you can quickly reach Reggio Emilia with the beautiful basilica La Ghiara and the theatre Romolo Valli, known throughout Italy first of all by the dancing enthusiasts, Modena with the cathedral recognized World Heritage Site, Parma with the baptistery entirely fresco painted and the well-preserved castles in the neighbourhood, the lands of Matilde of Canossa with parish churches and castles, Mantua and Bologna. In the neighbourhood there is then a continuous festival with concerts, performances, villages fêtes and other events such as medieval pageants or you can bath in the nature of the Giant Park in the Appennino Reggiano (mountains of Reggio Emilia) or follow the trekking routes on the Spallanzani or Matilda path.

If you like the thermal treatments you can benefit the neighbourhood of the Spa of Salvarola, if you are sporting men you can visit Maranello with the factory, the museum and the test race track of the famous Ferrari car and perhaps go a round. Furthermore you will find near the agrotourism covered and open air swimming pool, tennis courts, athletics centre, riding school and golf courses.

At your arrival Claudia and Roberto will welcome you; they live with their family in the agrotourism in order to not leave you alone and to help you if necessary. We can suggest you where you can ride, taste and buy local produce or give you a list of the best agrotourisms and/or restaurants or castle to enjoy a romantic dinner.

you can do everything or nothing, as you want ; you can scour naturalistic routes walking or riding a bicycle, taste our local produce in cellars, cheese factories and vinegar factories along the Wine and Savour Route or in the numerous typical restaurants in the neighbourhood.

The agrotourism is standing in a farm of 17 hectares cultivated half with forage or cereals half with vineyards from which we obtain the typical wines of Reggio country such as Lambrusco DOC; we cultivate with the method of Integrated Management for the purpose of a minor impact on the human and environmental health. The ecological awareness is basic for us; for this reason we realized a photovoltaic system with 105 panels generating 19 KW energy.  The agrotourism Il Brugnolo is standing inside a typical farmhouse from 1800 and has been built with the stones of the old destroyed village church; subject to the bond of cultural assets maintenance it has been renovated keeping its original structure.
