“The quiet elegance of this restored Emilian estate feels perfectly suited to her appreciation for the country’s slower and more discreet pace of life.”

Christine Ross

“Tra arazzi originali, affreschi dell’epoca, soffitti a cassettoni dipinti a mano con motivi decorativi tardo cinquecenteschi e iconici complementi d’arredo che hanno fatto (e fanno tutt'ora) la storia del design: la storica tenuta di Villa Manodori torna a splendere.”

“The phrase “Made in Italy” conjures images of steaming bowls of pasta, enormous wheels of Parmigiano-Reggiano, paper-thin slices of prosciutto and sleek Ferraris. Everyone knows what Italy is famous for, but far fewer realize that many of these icons come from a single region: Emilia-Romagna”

“Relais Roncolo 1888, a vineyard hotel at the opposite end of the design spectrum. It’s part of the 320-acre Tenuta di Roncolo estate, in the foothills of the Apennine Mountains, which dates back to the 15th century”

“Doch zu schnell sind wir vom Dunst des Balsamicos betört, vom Prickeln des Lambruscos eingefangen und dem emilianisch geprägten Charme von Roncolo 1888 verfallen. Unser Gang nach Canossa bleibt deshalb im Ansatz stecken.”

Volker Mehnert

“Auf einem Hügel, umgeben von fast 130 Hektaren Natur, finden Gäste im «Relais Roncolo 1888» in Emilia-Romagna die komplette Abgeschiedenheit. Ein Aufenthalt gleicht einem Rückzug ins Schlaraffenland.”

“Viel mehr als Käse und Schinken: Parma ist nicht nur eine Hochburg der gastronomie, sondern auch der Oper und besitzt außerdem ein verstecktes architektonisches Weltwunder.”

“It boasts natural beauty and an abundance of culinary delights, but the unexpected highlight of Emilia Romagna is a wine style that’s reinventing itself. Taking in the delights of neighbouring Lombardy too, let Lambrusco be your guide through a tour of the gastronomic heartland of Italy”
