Nestled in the peaceful mountain village of Case Zobbi, at an altitude of 680 meters in the municipality of Villa Minozzo, La Volpara B&B offers a cozy retreat in the heart of the Reggio Apennines. The property, created from a careful renovation of a traditional stone house, preserves the authenticity of the local architecture, offering an environment that combines rustic charm with modern comforts.
La Volpara provides two spacious independent suites, called La Volpe (The Fox) and Il Tasso (The Badger), designed to accommodate up to three people each. Each suite is equipped with a private bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, pellet stove, terrace, and garden, as well as reserved parking spaces for cars and bicycles, offering an intimacy that blends with the freedom to organize your stay independently. The possibility to prepare breakfast directly in the room allows guests to manage their own pace, while the alternative of using vouchers for breakfast at a bar in the village lets them vary the experience without giving up convenience.
The location of the property represents an ideal starting point to explore a territory still strongly connected to nature and the traditions of the Emilian mountains. The nearby surroundings offer highly evocative scenery, including the Triassic Gypsum formations, the Poiano Springs, and the imposing Pietra di Bismantova, genuine symbols of this part of the Apennines. The area offers numerous opportunities for trekking, cycle tourism, and mountain biking, with trails and secondary roads winding through woods, valleys, and hills. Along the ridge are places of particular natural value, such as Monte Cusna, the Prati di Sara meadows, the Royal Fir Forest (Abetina Reale), the Lavacchiello Waterfalls, and Monte Prampa, which, together with the Stracorada Park, form a varied and ever-changing landscape mosaic through the seasons.
Beyond the contact with nature, the territory is also distinguished by its historical and cultural riches. Along the hills, small villages, ancient parish churches, and castles tell a story deeply rooted in the Apennine context, accompanied by a food and wine tradition made of typical products and local specialties. The location of Villa Minozzo also allows for extending itineraries to other significant regional destinations: crossing the Apennine passes of Radici and Pradarena, you reach the Tuscan side with Garfagnana and, continuing, the Tyrrhenian coast. To the north, it is easy to travel for cultural visits to the art cities of Reggio Emilia, Modena, and Parma, alternating naturalistic and cultural experiences.
The intimate atmosphere and the freedom guaranteed by the suites at La Volpara B&B offer a form of simple and essential hospitality, where contact with nature and the tranquility of the place invite you to take a break away from daily rhythms. This property is presented as an ideal choice for those who wish to immerse themselves in the authentic beauty of the Apennines, while maintaining a direct and autonomous relationship with their stay.
