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.
