Matilde Di Canossa Resort

Our 3-day stay was part of a Travelbird arrangement which included an excursion, a diner and wellness facilities (e.g. sauna, massage, Turkish bath). Despite the advertisement, the wellness facilities were closed for the summer, we were told. Instead we received tickets for the large and guarded swimmingpool situated at the adjacent golf-course. No hotel bar, although the receptionist acts also as selling point, so for drinks we walked to the adjacent golf bar. Nice short walk along the golf. The room was huge, comfortable and quiet, but there are no dining facilities in the hotel. Dining facilities at the golf are rather expensive. The breakfast was good enough. Since a diner was part of our arrangement, we received a ticket for a restaurant at some distance, which was not bad at all. The hotel is quite large, with several wings but at this time of the year (early June) not very crowded. The gardens were beautifully designed but not well kept and dirty. The parking garage is situated in the basement of the building. Be aware of the steep entrance lawn which might damage the front of your sportscar. From the garage easy access to the reception and rooms with elevators. Great for golf enthousiasts. Modena and Parma are the nearest cities. We discovered a huge and excellent pizza restaurant in the neighbourhood, crowded with Italian families.

Is like a mini city inside a mint city ....all structure and apartments are around the golf! Hotel has big rooms comfortable , very relaxing atmosphere .... What we were looking for! Price was just a laugh , really recommended if you are looking for some relax!

You know you are staying in a hotel that has heating problems when staff are dressed for a blizzard. Despite what this hotel advertises, it has no restaurant or any facilities to provide food in evenings. This is more of a necessity when rurally located. Breakfast in the mornings was cold because like the heating, the food hot plate was defunct. I felt like I was inconvenience when making basic requests, such as booking a taxi. We were told that due to no food being available, we could dine at the hotel's sister hotel which is 3km away. Of course by 3km they meant 18km. The taxis cost 30 euros each way when we could have dined somewhere much closer. This is an establishment which is in complete denial and needs urgent attention if it wants to be successful.
