“Emilian culinary hideaway”
Vibe
Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore's Emilian estate blends contemporary art by Ai Weiwei and Warhol with the intimacy of a private country house.
“Emilian culinary hideaway”
Estate balsamic vinegar attic tastings paired with wood-fired Emilian breakfasts serving cotechino, zabaglione, and erbazzone.
Mid-century furnishings by Castiglioni and Saarinen alongside original contemporary artworks by Ai Weiwei and Warhol.
An open residential kitchen with round-the-clock regional provisions and highly personalized country estate service.
In the San Damaso countryside outside Modena, among oak trees, gardens, and the estate's acetaia.
Rooms
Individually styled bedrooms balance original walnut floors and historic shutters with mid-century pieces by Mies van der Rohe, Saarinen, and Castiglioni.
Wellness
An outdoor swimming pool is tucked among centuries-old oak trees, while gym equipment shares space with sports cars in the recreation pavilion.
Backstory
Named after Bottura's mother, this 18th-century farmhouse was reimagined in 2019 to extend the culinary world of Osteria Francescana into the countryside.
Eat & drink
Mornings bring wood-fired erbazzone and cotechino, followed by balsamic tastings in the acetaia and wood-ember dining at Al Gatto Verde.
The neighborhood
Set among the quiet farmlands of San Damaso, the estate sits surrounded by fruit orchards and kitchen gardens twenty minutes from Modena.
