Located in the charming countryside of Reggio Emilia, our facility is situated in an ancient farmhouse typical of the area, which has been carefully restored to preserve its original features. Nevertheless, we have integrated modern comforts to ensure the utmost well-being of our guests. The Ministry of Cultural Heritage has recognized the historical importance of the farmhouse, imposing some restrictions.
The furniture, mainly in wood and in the "arte povera" style, is simple and essential, yet extremely characteristic. This choice contributes to creating the authentic atmosphere of a period residence, a title that the Antico Casale Caroli boasts thanks to its unique structural characteristics.
The part of the property reserved for guests includes:
- Five spacious double rooms, including three Junior Suites and two Suites. Each room is equipped with a flat-screen TV, minibar, free Wi-Fi, desk, wardrobe or clothes hanger, and a private bathroom with a hairdryer. The two larger rooms also include a comfortable sofa bed, allowing for up to four people to stay.
- A large communal lounge, located in the former cellar, serves as the breakfast area and relaxation room. This space also houses the reception and is equipped with tables, a fireplace, and a cozy sitting area. Adjacent to the lounge, there are two bathrooms, one of which is accessible to guests with disabilities.
- An outdoor porch, ideal for enjoying outdoor breakfasts and moments of relaxation during the spring and summer months.
- Guests can also enjoy a large outdoor park.
- Reserved parking is available for guests.
With a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, we have adopted the use of renewable energy sources to meet the energy needs of the facility:
- A 12 kW photovoltaic system, integrated with photovoltaic tiles. Our system has been recognized in Legambiente's directory of Virtuous Municipalities.
- An advanced heating, filtering, and cooling system based on a Toshiba heat pump, which is extremely efficient and has a low environmental impact.
- Hot water production is achieved through a combined system of solar panels and heat pumps.

The scrana is the chair, in the Reggio dialect. The chair of wood and woven straw is the symbol of the long hours spent sitting at the Rezdore's. In Emilia, if you think of a rezdora, an expert cook from a “distant” generation immediately comes to mind, busy every day pulling the dough. In reality, rezdora was the wife of the "azdour", that is, the head of the family. Literally it means "ruler" or "she who leads", so the rezdora was the person who supported the "rezdor" in the management of daily family life with the task of administering the house and being responsible for everything that happened inside the walls. domestic. The room, the first on entering the ground floor, is located where the kitchen of the Casale was once located, from which the rezdora conducted her multiple activities. The double / triple room "la Scrana" is equipped with flat screen TV, minibar, free Wi-Fi, desk, wardrobe / coat hanger and private bathroom with hairdryer.
The corkscrew of the past. The inevitable tool used to open Lambrusco wine. To date, Lambrusco, originally from these lands, is the most exported Italian wine in the world! The room is adjacent to the cellar under the stairs, where the bottles of Lambrusco produced and bottled on site were crammed and kept cool, with grapes from the “KM0” vineyards. The double / triple room is equipped with flat-screen TV, minibar, free Wi-Fi, desk, wardrobe / coat hanger and private bathroom with hairdryer.
The cutting board. The typical tool of the Reggio matrons for rolling out tortelli and cappelletti pasta! The double / triple room is equipped with flat-screen TV, minibar, free Wi-Fi, desk, wardrobe / coat hanger and private bathroom with hairdryer.
A companion of the long and cold nights of the Reggio countryside was the prèt. The underblanket. To which the “Al Pret” Junior Suite is dedicated. The bed warmer was a wooden object with a metal base, on which the still hot coals of the hearth used to dine and warm up in the common room were placed; the "pret" was then slipped under the bed to keep it warm during the night. The Junior Suite is equipped with a flat-screen TV, a kettle with courtesy drinks, a minibar, free Wi-Fi, a desk, a wardrobe / hanger and a private bathroom with a hairdryer.
"Rasola": the grater. A must for grating the king of the Reggio table: Parmigiano Reggiano. The best known and best-selling Italian cheese in the world, born a few kilometers from Gattatico. The fields, visible from the "La Rasola" Junior Suite, are all planted with alfalfa, one of the few foods allowed by the strict Consortium of Parmigiano Reggiano for feeding dairy cows. Near the Antico Casale Caroli, numerous businesses offer menus and direct sales of Parmigiano Reggiano at "KM0" (fodder, milk and cheese all produced on site) The Junior Suite is equipped with a flat-screen TV, a kettle with courtesy drinks, a minibar, free Wi-Fi, a desk, a wardrobe / hanger and a private bathroom with a hairdryer.
