We stayed here for one night and found it absolutely wonderful! Definitely worth a stop. Paola and Giovanni are incredibly sweet and welcoming, and sell delicious Lambrusco and olive oil :)
Absolutely wonderful place; we tasted the wine and took some olive oil with us. Highly recommended!!
Thank you, Paolo, for taking the time to explain your wine production to us. We enjoyed tasting the Lambrusco with delicious local cheese and salami. On your good advice, we visited San Benedetto and Verona, which we loved. Thanks again...
Many thanks to Paola. We were allowed onto the site as early as 11:00, right after the ferry. We then took an afternoon nap in wonderfully peaceful surroundings. In the evening, we bought a few bottles of Lambrusco from her own winery. Everything was exactly as described. A wonderful place to unwind. Many thanks also to Giovanni.
Very nice place; we were able to arrive late in the evening while passing through, after contacting them in advance. Paola speaks excellent German and showed us everything. We could have breakfast on the veranda and were given an explanation of the family’s wine production. We bought some products directly :) It is also possible to arrive with a compact trailer, although the access and roads in the area are relatively narrow.
Wonderful place to stay among the vineyards, immersed in nature. The owners are very kind, friendly, helpful people. I highly recommend it.
Perfect place with a lovely host. The wine is highly recommended; we will try the olive oil at home.
Paola and Giovanni are incredibly warm and lovely people. We learned a lot about the region and the products during the wine tasting. Highly recommended.
We can only echo the praise from the others. Paola replied quickly and kindly via WhatsApp. When we arrived, we received a very warm welcome and had a quiet, level and beautiful pitch at the edge of the vineyards. We would come back anytime; next time we will plan more time, as there is plenty to explore and the wine is very good!
Stayed for one night in Paula’s beautiful Vineyard. Incredible hospitality, beautiful surroundings, ever so peaceful. Very grateful for the magical stop of they’ve provided.
Beautiful place! Slept among the vineyards; the owner was extremely friendly and the wine is definitely worth trying!!
We can only join the previous reviewers. We stayed two nights at the beautiful winery and were wonderfully looked after in every way! A truly wonderful stay and very tasty Lambrusco! Many thanks for everything! Highly recommended!!!
We stayed one night with Paola and Giovanni and can highly recommend it. We parked right beside the vines, and in the evening Paola gave us a small tasting with wine, cheese and salami. She speaks flawless German and can tell you a great deal about the region. We would come back anytime!
Lovely welcome from Paola, who is trilingual, cheerful and passionate, right in the middle of her vineyards. We did not have a tasting, but we visited the cellar and bought an absolutely delicious Lambrusco (organic, €6 per bottle). Do not miss a visit to Mantua, twenty minutes away.
A real insider tip. We felt very comfortable with Paola and Giovanni. Paola gave us a wonderful wine tasting and many additional tips for exploring the surrounding area. We are always happy to come back.
Insider tip! This is already our second visit. Paola and Giovanni are very hospitable and helpful. The Lambrusco is delicious and the pitch is great! Thank you very much!
We sent a spontaneous request in the evening and Paola warmly welcomed us at 20:30. You can park on a level concrete area or on the tracks between the vines. There is water, herbs, organic waste disposal, benches and Wi-Fi. In the morning we also received an interesting tour of the winery. We bought both types of wine and the olive oil. They are both great!
Enchanting place in the middle of a vineyard. There are no facilities, but after all it costs nothing and the owner is very helpful. The winery with its organic products should not be overlooked. I cannot tell you whether the wine is good because I have not drunk it yet, but if it is anything like the rest, it will be excellent. Thank you, Paola.
Paola and Giovanni are absolutely adorable. We had a wonderful time with them and they are endlessly generous. Paola gave us a wine tasting and switches from German to English to Italian as if it were nothing; it is very impressive. Thank you a thousand times for everything; we will gladly return. Sylvain and Sarah.
Fantastic! We spent one night there with our 7-meter motorhome. We slept right among the vines. A lovingly prepared little wine tasting with a small typical snack platter was the icing on the cake. Thank you, Paola, for explaining what real Lambrusco is. We now have a little more luggage! Paola is so warm and passionate, whether speaking Italian, English or German. For us, a wonderful stop. We would gladly come back.
Warm welcome, wonderful hosts and a fascinating insight into the world of Lambrusco wine. A place that invites you not only to linger, but also enriches you culturally. Absolutely recommendable!
Super-friendly hosts, thank you very much for the fantastic wine tasting and for letting us stay with our motorhome. We would gladly come back!
A beautiful place with very loving, kind and friendly operators. Paola speaks German very well and is a clever woman. She gave us excellent tips about things that you absolutely should see in Mantua and the surrounding area. We will definitely return to this beautiful place. So, see you again soon, and best wishes, Karola and Mathias.
We are speechless at Paola and her family’s warmth! It was wonderful and relaxing to sleep among the vines. The wine, cheese and salami tasting is highly recommended! We would go back anytime!
Amazing place and amazing people. Really loved staying at paolas vineyard. She was super nice and helpful
It is a shame you can only give five stars. We arrived very late and were welcomed so warmly! They are both incredibly kind and attentive! We spent a wonderfully peaceful night among the vineyards, were allowed to see the production, and took a few cases with us. We will return, thank you very much!
Wow! We enjoyed it so much. What a lovely hostess and what a wonderful place. I can only agree with all the five-star reviews. We bought some delicious bottles of wine and a bottle of olive oil. Highly recommended!
Perfect scenery and wine! We arrived very late, just after sunset, but Paola was wery welcoming and even gave us a little tour and told us about the wines. Please let Giovanni and Paola know beforehand if you plan to stay there. There was two quests that arrived without a booking so Paola had to make special arrangements for us and change her plans because of the unannounced visitors.
Beautiful pitch directly beside the vineyard—quiet, idyllic and with warm-hearted hosts. The wine tasting was a real highlight: regional, explained with care and very tasty! Perfect for a relaxing break. No electricity or water, but genuine immersion in nature. Many thanks to Paola and Giovanni!
Excellent place, charming hosts, quiet and safe. Level ground and no disturbance from the other vans or motorhomes parked on the property. We recommend it.
Hello, we can only agree with the previous reviewers: a dreamlike spot among the vines and very caring hosts. The wine is superb!
a quiet place to stay, perfect between the vineyards. very lovely hostess Paola:-) delicious Lambrusco and Rosé! we recommend this place!
Pitch in the beautiful garden of Giovanni and Paola, surrounded by vineyards. Paola passionately explained how they make their Lambrusco. We immediately took several bottles of the delicious wine with us. She speaks fluent German and is delighted by every new word, which she immediately adds to her vocabulary. Thank you for the warm hospitality! Jutta & Marcus
I can only agree with the previous comments. Paola speaks fluent Italian, English and German and is a wonderful host. The tour was very informative and the Lambrusco delicious. With 12 more bottles in our rear garage, we will gladly think back to this paradise.
Beautiful place with incredibly kind operators. If only there were more friendly people like them. We had an interesting tour of the cellar and bought a few bottles of delicious Lambrusco. We enjoyed one of them that same evening at sunset among the vineyards. Many, many thanks for this wonderful time here!
June 9–10, 2025: Very warm-hearted operator, completely free, no services at all. We were allowed to park among the vines after briefly registering via WhatsApp. We took part in a small wine tasting and bought two bottles of the delicious wine. We would gladly return, and many thanks for this hospitality!
Dear Paola, thank you for the wonderful wine tasting. We learned so much about grapes, Parmesan, salami and more. :) Thank you for your time and your wonderful hospitality. Andrea & Michael
We spent one night here while traveling south. We received a wonderful welcome from a very friendly German-speaking owner. This place is highly recommended and, if you are self-sufficient, suitable for longer stays too. The wine we bought after the wonderful little tour was excellent. Thanks again.
A wonderful place to spend the night. At Paola and Giovanni’s winery, very tasty Lambrusco is produced with great care and manual work. You feel extremely welcome with them.
